"Beach Umbrella" Bookmarks

My love of reading physical books and my need to find purpose for painting and canvas scraps came together years ago; resulting in my hand-painted canvas bookmarks.

In this latest batch of "bookmarks-that-used-to-be-paintings," you'll find a lovely pinstripe pattern with teals, reds, pinks, purples and tans. The look of these bookmarks reminded me so much of the vintage patterns and colors of beach umbrellas, that's what I decided to name this collection!

If you're the type of person who loves the feel of REAL books - turning pages and the smell of the paper - you're going to love the feel of these bookmarks. The texture of the paint and canvas is a simple delight, and as you use them over the months and years ahead they'll become even softer and more pliable. It's just one more sensory comfort to add to the enjoyable experience of reading.

Bookmarks come bagged in cello to keep them pristine, and the back of each is marked with my signature initials. I hope you enjoy seeing them peeking out of your favorite books!
