"Next spring, Hernandez is introducing a new product line housed in Bakelite, a material first invented in the early 1900s and now highly coveted among vintage and antique jewelry collectors. She spent three months coming up with a mold for a Bakelite lip and eye pencil sharpener in the shape of a hummingbird that can also be worn as a brooch. "I have my own niche," she says. "I make special things. I hope women fall in love with it like I do making it. We're the romantics of the industry.""
Cool!
