a little bit of fiddling fun

The world is just too crazy at the moment for me to even contemplate real or proper pieces, but I did manage to get into the studio momentarily and make a bunch of book marks for my book group members.

We had our end of year lunch today, chatted about the book we had been reading and I was able to give everybody an embossed star bookmark.

They looked really nice all grouped together and are just  a small token to say thanks for the fun and for putting up with me being absent so often this year...

  5. Thanks Noela - sometimes simple can be sweet!

    Ahh Lesley we could start a group - embossing is us! They were quick and simple but look good together. Anything to do with books has got to be a good thing...

    Hi Anna - they worked out well for a bit of fun and fiddling...

    Thanks Jane - the alaw piece is a bit of bold and bright fun; and these are the total opposite in a way - quiet and simple.

    Thanks Alison - I'm glad you enjoyed them. I like simple and useful too!

  6. Love this post title, except ow I'm imagining you with a fiddle tucked under your chin! Are you a secret violinist???

    I love your star bookmarks.

  8. Oh Annie - I laughed! Shows how much experience and context play into understanding...I have to confess no fiddler/violinist here - just a person sitting fiddling with paper, as ever...

    Thanks Jo - I agree and have loads of bookmarks! Happy Christmas to you as well.
