Bookmark in a cabochon style made with Liberty tana lawn fabric on bronze and silver metal bases

Description

A quick look around my shop will evidence how much I love to work with Liberty Tana Lawn fabric, and when you work with so much of it, you inevitably build up lots of smaller offcut pieces. Now, I believe that people refer to these very small pieces of fabric as ‘scraps’ but that’s a word I can’t bear to associate with my beloved Liberty lawn, which I like to think of as ‘size challenged pieces of delight’.

Now I think I’ve found the very best way to treasure and celebrate these size challenged pieces of delight and whenever I find a perfect little piece, I set it aside so that I can add a protective sealant to it and set it behind a lovely domed glass cabochon, either as a brooch, a bookmark, or a keyring. These bookmarks are made of either bronze or silver coloured metal bases, with a little twist detail around the cabochon. I treat the fabric first to protect it and then set it in the bookmark and cover it with a domed glass cabochon. The bookmarks are 3.5″ or 9cm long and are presented on a white card.

I’ll be refreshing my stock of bookmarks as and when I make more. They’re not something that I make to order because they’re pretty time consuming to make with the drying time of sealants and glues, but if there’s something in particular that you’d like made, just convo me and I’d be happy to oblige, if I can.

Please bear in mind that each bookmark is hand made and therefore, there can be slight variations in how the fabric was positioned in the bookmark.
