Bookmark Swap - Send by August 7th

fronts (I wrapped the base cardstock)
We haven't swapped bookmarks in a while.  You can click on this link to see Karen I.'s previous group swap posting:  Bookmark Swap- July 22, 2013

These samples were made with marbleized hand-made papers (Mulberry Papers online), rubber stamped images and collage.  Tassels are of fancy threads or yarns.  

Make up to four Bookmarks to swap.  Keep in mind that sticky media will ruin your recipient's book. 

PLEASE:

NOT TOO THICK, NO LUMPY EMBELLISHMENTS, NO THICK FIBERS, NO STICKY SEALANT
SUGGESTION:   
You could you save your beads. 3-D embellishments and thick fibers/yarns for a future altered tag swap...

HINTS:
  • Iron-on adhesives like Steam-a-Seam II hold papers & fabrics together nicely, but heat could melt magazine clippings... 
  • Glue stick does NOT work so well on magazine clippings...
  • Stitching through layers is a possible option...
Here's a link to Karen I.'s former information on sealing bookmarks:
