ON THE SNAIL TRAIL - BOOKMARK FOR A.P.R.

This week's challenge for the Artist's Play Room was 'Books and Bookmarks'.  

I had ideas for four bookmarks, but life being what it is I only managed to get one finished.  I can enjoy myself another day making the other three.  Here's the one I did manage to complete:

I was trying out Bristol Board because I found a nice A4 sketchpad in Range which has a really white, white finish.  In the nature of experiments I found my Inktense watercolour pencils did not like the surface, so there is a mixture of pen, Inktense and 'ordinary' coloured pencils.

The bookmark is quite large (for large books!) and I made a  little tag of the same image to hang from the bookmarked page.

This is an unusual day today because today coincidentally is the deadline for posting to the Artist's Play Room and the Artful Reader's Club.

So my Artwork and Book Review for February were posted just before this one - and I hope you might be interested in a really good book to put on your wish list.
