DDC-054 “DDC × FN Turquoise Tribute” 3-Book Kit” (One of each design!)
Product Description:
For the final day of DDC Merchmas 2024 we find ourselves inspired by the beauty, science and magic of the turquoise rocks kickin’ around on my desktop. Procured in Navajo country the last handful of Southwest roadtrips, we marvel at these little chunks daily. We’re calling this set the “Turquoise Tribute” featuring three different covers showcasing the thrilling turquoise veins, cracks and fissures found in nature. Turquoise is created by water seeping into mines and interacting with copper or aluminum minerals…over the course of millions of years! Our favorite gemstone.
Getting these made was a bit challenging, simply due to logistical foibles. And of course, higher and higher shipping costs nipping at our heels getting them here. Plus, we added a little “Leigh Fee” to the kit, simply to hook her up this holiday season. She works her keister right off for you guys! Special thanks to Michele and Bryan at Field Notes!
