Bookmarks

And now for something completely different. A librarian friend asked me whether it would be possible for me to make gemstone bookmarks. Surprisingly, I hadn't thought of doing bookmarks before, amazing really considering my background is librarianship. I looked into it and realised I could. She wanted girly ones for prizes for reading, a great idea and I was happy to help.

 

These are what I made for her, the gemstones look really pretty with the silver plated copper wire wrapping. I think they qualify as girly. They are £3 each, so if you would like me to make you one then just contact me and I can accomadate you.

 

This got me thinking about how I could make bookmarks. I knew they had to be thin, as to not harm the book you are reading. So I decided to experiment with embroidery thread and macrame. I was very pleased with the results, and you can now buy them from my Etsy shop.
