Handmade Painted Bookmarks with Dried Flowers

A Small Holiday Art Project

Since I don’t celebrate Christmas I have a lot of time for other things. So first I tried to create some order (I usually try to create a good amount of order again in the old year so that I start the new year in an orderly manner). Since I came across my box of bookmarks in this process, I took that as an opportunity to create 20 bookmarks again.

I did some painting too recently, but today I want to introduce some of the new bookmarks. No big thing – just for fun. My earlier bookmarks were more colorful and rich in contrast, this time I tried more to create a harmonious color scheme. And I even strived for elegance with one or the other bookmark.

However, these bookmarks can hardly be used as such, since they consist of too many parts that can easily fall off or be rubbed off. But I’m still giving them away to selected people because they are generally liked.

    These bookmarks remind me of the illustrations used in botany books. Lovely.

      Thank you! I have never thought of this but you are probably right. I collected, and have been dealing, with antique lithographs dealing with flora and fauna.

      Thank you so much! These are the finger exercises, the warm-up for the real painting 🙂
