Bookmarks

Do you remember my series of sort of light-hearted little paintings I did earlier this summer?

I was looking at them a while ago and tried to figure out what to do with them because I like them as a series (and I want to hang on to the originals for now) and suddenly I thought: bookmarks! Aren't they fun?


As you've probably noticed from some of my posts and photos, we LOVE to read and I think one can never have too many bookmarks. (Especially if you are like me and have several books going at once!)
If you want to check them out in my Etsy store, click here. So far, I've only listed four of the series of ten, but I'll be listing the others as well soon...


Happy reading...

    These are so cute! And I know what you mean about having more than one book going at a time. That's why I collect bookmarks. And yours are the cutest I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to see the rest in your series.

    Excellent idea, for those of us who have several books going at once, you sound like a girl after my own heart. Have a great day.

    What's a great idea Silke! Isn't it nice to find new ways to branch out and put your talent to use?! :-)) Wish I could think of some way to flatten my crocheted projects so I could steal this idea from you!! LOL ..Don'y worry! That's NOT going to happen!! :-)

    Und wir lesen schon damit!! Die sind so wunderschön, liebe Silke! Beim Lesen muss ich sie allerdings weglegen, denn sonst lenkt mich dein Kunstwerk vom Lesen ab! Danke dafür.
    Alles Gute, Verena

    Those are lovely Silke, I bought a laminator a while ago with the intention of making bookmarks but I still haven't got round to doing any *naughty me* it's just sitting there being all dusty and lifeless poor thing!! ;)

    cute! I like those
    they'd also make cute cards.
    or how about binding the prints together into a journal?
