Never Gets Old

Below, a current bookmark-to-book matchup that is sooo satisfying—I made the art as a monchromatic collage exercise for a downloadable Jane Davies workshop (Keys to Dynamic Composition) back in January 2016. Loved it then, love it now!

I've been needing a good hand-painted red bookmark ever since I lost a previous favorite a year or two ago, presumably passing it along as an unwitting gift to the next reader of a book I returned to the library. So, today I grabbed one of the three pieces into which I cut yesterday's work-in-progress, and now I've got me a fine and dandy new red bookmark. Can't wait to see what book it first aligns itself with.

Never gets old, this love affair with bookmarks!
