authors

author is a funny word the more you look at it.


i'm just after making some new bookmarks in my shop with author's quotes...

i hand paint these on acid free heavy watercolor paper.
it's really fun looking for the quotes to put on...but i get distracted and spend hours just reading different quotes!

they are stamped on letter by letter, and embossed.
the edges are lined with metal tape that i put impressions in, and the beads are strung onto embroidery thread.

i have a couple that i have been using for myself and they are pretty sturdy...even when i have lost them in the bed under the covers!
