Is there a size guideline on a bookmark here?

sultrypeacock 06/23/2009 #

Hmmm... I'm going to leave size and format in the hands of the creator... but here's two of my own ideas:

1.5 inch wide by 8.5 inch long gives a nice working area for doodling. :) Plus easy to slice off one end of a standard sheet of 8.5 x11 paper.

book thong with 1-inch square zentangle dangles at the ends....(make two zentangle squares for each dangle, glue them together back to back with the thong cord between)

Square or Triangular page-markers (two different styles):

I made a bunch of the youtube variety markers about a dozen years ago for one of my English grammar books (that I still use- what a favorite textbook!) -- and all these years and multiple moves later the corner markers are still in place! Love them. :)

...and of course, anytime I need inspiration for a project the first thing I do is go look at the fabulous things that other people have created! They might not be using the same medium, but they might have a great shape that will get me started...

Since we only have three people sign up for this swap, we'll only have 2 bookmarks required instead of 3. Have fun, everyone!! (and make that extra bookmark for yourself!)
