Brilliant idea Jennifer, I done single bookmarks but never though of using a painting.

Thank you all for the lovely comments. Hate wasting art and time 😉😂. And they do look better as bookmarks. Dig out those failures and get them cut up. X

Super, successful idea Jennifer.

They're fab. It's hard to imagine that the painting was "horrific" but cropping can be a great way of getting little gems.

Thank you all for the lovely comments. Ohh Roger it really wasnt very pretty as one painting, little slithers works soooo much better. X

lovely vibrant painting, turned into bookmarks is a brilliant idea. painting individual bookmarks with such large designs could have been very difficult. well done Jennifer

Spent 4 hours on a painting that was just horrific to look at. So instead of wasting those 4 hours I cut it up into 12 bookmarks, added a little garden twine tassel, and bow think they look fab. I will give these away to key workers whilst I'm out and about. (Observing social distancing of course) to say thank you. Never dismiss a bad bit of art, it can always be turned into something beautiful. ❤
