Last Summer, I was introduced to a most fascinating book called The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Ocean, from Dorling Kindersley. I searched high and low for the book in every bookstore I came across, and not one had it (oh how I miss Borders)! Then, about a week ago (8 months from the original sighting no less), I finally found the prized possession in my local Waterstones. Cue the sudden appearance of my inner "Golem".
I tell you, this book is such a valuable part of my library! Never have I found such a comprehensive book for marine biology, especially with such detailed science.
Well, later that week, I bought some charms and beads so I could make myself a new bookmark (my old Eragon bookmark is sadly still MIA).
I chose emerald and aqua crystal beads since emerald is my birthstone (Yay! Go May!) and aqua crystal simply looks beautiful. The fish is of course because I love fish! Making the charm for the book mark was not so hard as when I usually make charms, since I also bought a new set of pliers to attach the metal loop at the top.
