Reader Tip
Posted by jessica

Bookmark.jpgHere’s a suggestion from one of our readers:

“Most watercolorists occasionally have one painting that can’t be saved. When all else fails, including cropping, I make book markers. I start with very durable, 140- or 300-lb. paper, and use a paper cutter to save interesting vignettes here and there—cutting strips about 2 inches wide and an appropriate length. Corners can be rounded with scissors or a corner cutter found at a hobby shop, and a paper punch makes a hole at the top center for a ribbon.

BookmarkGrouping.jpg"I write a quotation or message on the front or reverse side of the strip, or glue my business card on the back. These make very functional gifts, samples of my work, words to brighten someone’s day, free advertisement and a way to cause friends to think of me and my work each time they pick up a book—perhaps for years to come.”
—Marcus Miller, Pleasant Hill, Ohio
