Fresh Art - Watercolor Bookmarks

See this social icon list in the original post

Check out the newest additions to the shop - watercolor bookmarks. These bookmarks were created from excess strips of watercolor paper that I use as testing strips for color before I apply it to a painting. Some of these swatch like strips are so beautiful in and of themselves that I can’t bear to throw them out. I’d amassed quite a collection, when one day I realized that they’re the perfect size for bookmarks!

The colors on this bookmark brought to mind a windy day, perfect for kite flying.

Green is symbolic of growth, so this beautiful quote from Sharon Olds was a natural fit.

Wherever there are books I am home :)
