magnetic bookmarks


Because my new sketchbooks (not finished yet) are made all the same size from various sized papers, I ended up with these strips of watercolor paper. Mikala and I folded them to make bookmarks, attaching magnets to the inside lower edges. We used business card magnets, as suggested by Shirley's June 22nd post on Paper and Threads.

The two cat toys (the purple and green mice) were inspired by Andrea Joseph, whose sketches we were both admiring at the time.

  2. I would never have thought to make a magnetic bookmark! Love your bookmark paintings. The flip flop one is just great for a beachy read!

  3. I got the idea first from Mikala, who uses this kind of bookmark all the time, and then from Shirley's recent post. They are quite handy really -- don't fall out of the book!
