'The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. '-Rabindranath Tagore
The very silky bookworm is a bookmark. It is handcrafted from an old silk designer tie and comes wrapped up in a box containing the tale of silk. You can either purchase a ready-to-ship Buttertie or have your own custom made!
It is the story of the silk moth that lays an egg on a mulberry leaf and about the silkworm who spins a beautiful thread to make its cocoon. The silk is reeled off and used to make a precious silk tie. Old, torn or just out of fashion, the tie is transformed into a worm once more. As a very silky bookworm, it likes the paper leaves of your favourite book. And finally, flying along, there is a colourful Buttertie
The Very Silky Bookworm measures 17 cm x 3.5 cm and the Buttertie has a wingspan of 7 cm.
