For Christmas last year, I made about a dozen bookmarks for friends and family. They were a lot of fun to make, and I found a bookmark blank in a size I really like, so I'm now offering custom bookmarks in my shop!
Here are the newest bookmarks, in a similar size to mass-produced bookmarks at the store. These are 6 1/4" long by 1 1/4" wide, and are available in copper, brass, and aluminum. For more information & photos, please see my
FB album or my
Etsy listing. Thanks and enjoy!

Here's a "Before & After" shot of the cutouts! First I write out the quote and draw the design, then I stamp the quote, drill the cutouts, saw the cutouts, file rough edges, and sand the entire bookmark. In this case, I applied a rainbow flame patina with my torch before spraying on a clear coat to protect the finish.

This is one of my favorite cutouts to date - the boy and dog are so dang cute!
Happy Creating!
