More bookmarks....

Made a few more today. I have a partner who's interested in "tunnel books" (I never knew they had a specific term until now.) So I made her a tunnel book-"o"-marks. This was what inspired the "book". :)







The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.


The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.


To be loved, be lovable.


Black holes are what happened when God divided by zero.

And this is a fancy magnetic bookmark.

It's pink/green paisley paper, with ribbon laced into it. The magnets are super thin, super strong and super neat! I want to keep this for myself. . .I might. I suppose.

I'm also participating in a JM/Something Corporate/Andrew McMahon ("All Things Andrew McMahon") swap.

I'm gonna do something with a California postcard I bought in a vintage shop. And I'm gonna try to make a zipper pouch, I think. And I'll probably stencil a tote or a shirt or something.

Bookmarks

Posted by cassandra Friday, August 20, 2010

I've been organizing a bookmark swap that is RUNNING MY LIFE. Ha.

It's got 66 swappers (that's a huge swap, usually they cap at around 25.) and we're about halfway through the crafting period, nearing send-outs, on Sept 5.


Here's what I've made so far.
For a partner who likes vintage, antique stuff (it's elastic and awesome!):





For a partner who listed "sky" as a theme...it's magnetic and buffly so, I tested it on cardstock! Anyway here it is:



For a partner who listed "mice" as a theme:







Note that the blue bead has felt ears glued on to enhance the bead's mouse-like properties :)

For someone who loves robots and listed this on their wist, I went for my own spin, using this robot as my template:




It'll be laminated.

And here's one for someone who also likes vintage/steampunk stuff and yellow/green. I like the simplicity of bookmarks. I don't like a lot of extra stuff or having something that my book won't even close around.



It's elastic and has yellow/green ribbon that leads to a vintage, awesome, old skeleton key that I found in a vintage store.



I'm having a lot of fun doing the bookmarks. I think it's easy for me because I love reading. I want these to be used for years.

I'm swapping with 5 partners (6 in my group) and doing an unofficial swap with about 8 people, so I'll end up with about 13 bookmarks, altogether.
