Currently reading The Secret Garden. There is something about a real book that makes me happy. I mean the feel of actual paper on my hands is lovely that not even the practicality of e-books can outmatch. And that loveliness gave me the inspiration to make new bookmarks again. I made 3 today.

-A giraffe novelty

-The Bunny In Alice in Wonderland

-The Secret Garden.

By the way, this book is enchanting in so many levels. I love it. I remember watching the animated film before but I was so young then. I don’t recall the whole story so I bought the book. And it’s the best decision I made in weeks.

…and so I thought, a bookmark collection isn’t a bad idea. In fact I think it might be fun and one bookmark does not take a lot of time to make. 

Notice that the patches of color on the balloons shine? I used metallic watercolor (actually, not just on the balloons but on every piece) which I first thought of as tacky and childish but turned out to be quite adorable. It’s my new favorite thing. Haha.

I feel this strange happiness in bookmarks that makes me want to start a self-made bookmark collection:)
