Just finished a new group of handwoven bookmarks mounted on cards. The new ones are on slightly smaller cards that just fit into legal-size envelopes, which are included. The bookmark can be removed from the card by simply untying the ties. Light-colored paper inside provides a place to write a message.
Another off-loom bookmark in progress. Fun improvisation with yarn!
My first sample bookmark for an off-loom weaving class for high school students. This was woven on a frame loom made of 14" x 14" stretcher bars. Still not sure if knotting the fringe or hemstitching is the best way to finish it off. It's fun to try different yarn combinations and the sky is the limit here.
Here are the bookmarks. It was interesting to experiment with combinations of yarns in the weft—almost like mixing paint colors. The warp is cotton/linen and the wefts are cottons, rayons, and a fun novelty "eyelash."
I wove them, one by one, on my Schacht "Baby Wolf" loom.
