A new bookmark

This project is my entry for:

'September Challenge' - on Beccy's  Place;

My project is based on Beccy's creation: 'Betty bird'.

I discovered a technique of creating faux rice paper. I made some tests
with different materials and I used for my bookmark two of them:
the beige one, bonded around the printed image, is from a wrapping
paper very thin and the blue one resulted from a piece of lace curtain.
What it's interesting, on the back of materials after using the process,
it is formed a film, due to the glue, thin but consistent.
The base is a normal cardboard and the bird is colored with pencils
and gel pens. Around it there are accents of gold from a marker.

Proiectul este bazat pe o imagine creata de Beccy, tiparita si
lipita pe un carton de forma unui semn de carte. Am folosit doua
teste din tehnica descoperita de creare a unei aparente hartii de
orez. Cea bej este o hartie de ambalaj foarte subtire, iar cea
albastra reprezinta  o bucatica de perdea de dantela.
Pasarea este colorata cu creioane si markere cu gel.
Am mai adaugat cateva accente aurii dintr-un marker.

A new bookmark for an old book or a new one...

The negative

It was so fun to do it!  And I was happy I could use my experiments.

Because, honestly, their use is a little bit complicated...
