My Hand Embroidered Bookmark Collection "Century of Flowers"

My customers were asking for a more universal gift option for the book lovers in their lives.  That is how the idea to create a collection of hand embroidered bookmarks was born. A delightful silk embroidered bookmark is a thoughtful and unique gift for the person in your life who lives in the world of books.  For a passionate collector, avid reader or enjoyer of all things beautiful!  It will make her or him smile every time a book is opened.  As my hand embroidered bookbindings, these bookmarks are embroidered by hand only, one little stitch at a time. I use pure silk threads; they provide a subtle sheen and quiet luxury to the embroidery. The embroidered fabric is then hand stitched with tiny overcast stitches to a satin ribbon. This design was inspired by early 19th century bookmarks, which were made of paper and attached to a silk ribbon. This collection of bookmarks is called “Century of Flowers”. It features slightly abstract flowers and leaves, I currently really enjoy creating these types of designs. I hope that these little bookmarks will provide many warm moments of joy to you.
These bookmarks are available in my Amazon.com shop. To go there, please press here or the big green button "Bookmark Shop" on the top right corner of this page.
