Day before the weekend, I took two bookmark-sized strips of watercolor paper and used acrylic paints to cover one with red+, the other with yellow ochre+, all colors coming from remains on my (increasingly disgusting!) stay-wet palette.
Then I made a tiny travel art kit to take with me:
• bookmark-starters (taped one on each of the inside flaps of a plastic covered library book),
• a few pens, and
• wax pastels.
First day of our weekend, sat on a hotel bed to finish one bookmark in a room overlooking the hills of Scranton with two rapt granddaughters at my side. Nothing better!

I really like the idea of paper prayers!
So small, love it!
Thanks, Simone. Small was perfect for a travel project. I am using this paper prayer as a bookmark in the book I'm currently reading and, in addition to enjoying the book, I have the added pleasure of letting my eyes feast on the movement in this little bookmark before I read and when I stop. More about paper prayers coming up in another post soon.
Awesome ideas! The bookmarks and the prayers :)
Thanks, Sheila. This particular little paper prayer just keeps on giving and giving.
