The Red Book Ornament

A tiny piece of Middle Earth, made entirely by hand.

PRE-ORDER NOTE: This item is currently available for pre-order. Orders will begin shipping during the last week of November and the first week of December.

Inspired by the legendary Red Book, this miniature book ornament is individually crafted by my wife and me. The interior pages are hand-dyed with tea to give them an aged, parchment-like appearance, then folded and stitched by hand. The cover is made from red faux leather and finished with an original decorative design, pressed using a custom die created specifically for this piece.

A red cord allows the book to be hung as an ornament, displayed on a shelf, added to a collection, or placed somewhere special in your home.

Because we handcraft every piece, slight variations in page color, stitching, embossing, and finish are natural and make each ornament unique.

Approx. size: 6.0 cm wide × 8.0 cm high (2.36 in wide × 3.15 in high)

Taxes included.

There are more stories to wear.

For years, I kept seeing the same familiar images used again and again to celebrate Middle Earth. But the legendarium holds far more stories, symbols, characters and places waiting to be explored.

That is where my designs begin.

Some become modern heraldry, symbols inspired by the stories and reimagined for shirts, caps and the things we carry today. Others become illustrations created to capture a particular character, object, place or moment.

Different forms, but the same idea: to celebrate the world beyond the familiar and carry a little of that story with us.
