A couple of blog posts ago, I showed you some Zentangled Bookmarks that I've made for the ladies in my workshop this Saturday as little "thank-you-for-coming" gifts. PoetNessa from Writers of Wrongs website left a comment to ask if I would share how I put the bookmarks together.
I hope you won't be disappointed PoetNessa *or any other readers*, but this is how easy it was! I started out with a 12-pack of bookmarks that I picked up from Michael's craft store for one dollar . . .
I used some foam stamps by Memory . . .
and Jet Black Archival Ink . . .
I stamped the initial in the middle of the bookmark and then Zentangled around the initial . . .
I used a Silver Calligrapher Pen-Touch pen to edge the bookmarks and then added black and white ribbon through the holes . . .
And that's it! You can left click on the photos to get a closer look.

I am so in love with your Zentangles! I am going to have to pick up a book and get more information because I think you have me hooked! I just love what you do with them.

You are a natural at these zentangles. Each one of them is perfection. I can see that I need a lot more practice!
These are so great. You are so good at this and they always turn out beautiful.
No disappointment from me, just many thanks for explaining the process! I wondered about the edging and now I know!! They are soooo cool! I am a poetry therapist and I want to create some of these for my poetry/book friends now!! Zentangling is fun for me and I LOVE combining the art forms. OH and I think that I have Artzheimer's Disease too!!
Thanks so much, again!!
peace and hugs today,

You're the Zentangle goddess, Sherry! These are just stunning!
I missed your earlier post of these as I was away for a couple of days but they are fab - it is sooo addictive, and I read loads and loads, so this would be a great idea - thank you!!
Sherry, you are the "Queen of Zentangles and All That Is Black & White"! These are fabulous! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Those are very cool!! I didn't know you could buy precut bookmarks from Michael's- will have to check that out!! I was cutting them out myself or using large tags!!!
Love the use of the stamped letter and thanks for letting us in on how you constructed your wonderful tags .... Take care
Simple idea but extremely effective, they're lovely :)
