I have to say I love bookmarks. 
And I love making them, too.
Taking a piece of paper fabric that was dark and muddy… broody looking, in fact, and giving it a second chance.
Cutting it apart, and taking a chance. Better than letting it sit, untouched. Rising to the challenge of asking myself ~ “Wait – what can this be?”
The whole process just amazes me… of what a little time and attention to detail, of patience, perseverance can do to a little piece of a heart. Mine!
All too often things… people… attitudes… what is termed ‘ugly’ is all too easily tossed aside. I know better! Why… oh why? Does it take … me… so long?!
I’m quite grateful for another lesson. In life and in art.
Available in my Etsy shop!
HAPPPPPPYYYY FRIDAY!
and Happy Day to you all.
SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Yes Leslie, I am praying and in agreement with Austyn's healing Psalm 103:3…He who forgives and heals all disease. Prayers, petitions, faith, hope, love, mercy and grace for Austyn! xxxooo
Hello, Leslie! I'm visiting from Studio JRU. Beautiful bookmark! Love the papers, stitching, colors.
Oh this is beautiful! Almost too pretty to hide in a book! 😉
I love the entire idea of bringing together scraps and fragments to make a thing of beauty, to restore purpose and function…I like to quilt, but that tends to take a back burner to mixed media…
second chances … yes
There is just something about restoration. Luv it!
second chance art is a beautiful thing 🙂
Fun piece and beautiful photos – thanks for sharing…
I looked about a little, I love your work.
Very very cute!!
Talk about timeless beauty! Your thought process is mind boggling to someone like me, wow!
It amazes me too what you can do with a piece! Beautiful.
Nice! I just checked out your Etsy shop – such beautiful things!
