Product Description

Bookmark- Soft Maidenhair Fern Sunprinted Fabric- 2"x7"

This is a one of a kind bookmark made from a piece of my sunprinted fabric. This one was printed using Scented geranium leaves, and a butterfly cut out. The colors are rosy brown with a touch of muted yellow.

The fabric has been mounted to archival card stock, then heat laminated for durability. These bookmarks are great gifts or stocking stuffers for the avid book reader in your life.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
Botanical Sunprints are are a way of using my gardens in my art. They are made by placing leaves, flowers, thin foam sheet cutouts (for butterflies, hummingbirds, or letters) onto freshly painted cotton fabric, while the paint is still wet, and placed in the sun to dry. The combination of sun and humidity affect the speed at which the paint dries. If conditions are ideal, the color moves from under the leaf or flower, resulting in the sunprint. No two can be the same, due to different drying conditions and paint color combinations. Every print is a unique original.

My bookmarks are a way of using small pieces of my fabric in a unique way.

Materials Used

cotton fabric, paint, leaves, butterfly cutout, letters, paper, lamination
