©2011 Carolyn A. Pappas, Leaf Painted Bookmarks. Apx 1.75 x 6 inches plus tassel.
I was feeling like painting something not too serious, and I had some scrap watercolor paper on hand. I ended up painting some leaf-like patterns with various greens and blues and turning them into these two bookmarks. I haven’t had a proper bookmark in years so these will get good use.
I bought some crochet thread at Michael’s a few weeks ago and I used it to make a tassel. I have never made a tassel before and I am not the best with following written directions, but I’m happy to say that I was able to figure it out with some practice. These are the best directions I found online because they are the most specific and have the best photos.
On the back, I used my new Noodler’s pen to write this quote:
No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen. -Epictetus
