Hand painted bookmark


One of my favourite  things that I love to do as much as my artwork and machine work is to read - I have been an avid reader since I was young and used to use a torch when my mum put my bedroom light off
 
I used some things left over from my Christmas crafting to produce this bookmark - a small piece of watercolour paper and some beads
 
I started by lightly sketching the tree I then used Winsor and Newton water colours to add the colour and when dry  I  laminated it
 
I punched a hole in the top and added an eyelet and then put the ribbon that I had attached the beads to through it
 
I'm sure I'll use it a lot !!!
 
This is my entry for the following challenges
 
Try it on Tuesday - Favourite things
 
Moo Mania - Anything Goes
 
Our Creative Corner - Christmas leftovers
 
Thanks for looking would love you to leave a comment

    No end to your talents, Hilda! You should do more painting, the tree is really good. Love that you made a bookmark out of it and the beads just finish it off perfectly! xx
