Printable Bookmarks by Sharon Rowan

August 04, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for a bookmark for whatever book and/or magazine I’m currently perusing. I was so happy when I spotted these bold, mod printable bookmarks by Sharon Rowan over at How About Orange. They’re perfect for the bookworm with an eye for design, and they’re free! Thanks to Sharon for sharing these with all of us who have, in desperation, used band-aids, grocery receipts, and old scraps of fabric as makeshift bookmarks.

Ferry Staverman

Thanks to the wonderfully inspirational designvagabond for giving me a heads up about these spectacular paper sculptures, made from cardboard and string, by Ferry Staverman. Every time I look at them I see something different, finials, fancy dresses, trees, ultra modern skyscrapers, and on and on. So pretty!

Petit Collage

Over the past week or so, I’ve spotted the work of Petit Collage in several Renegade Craft Fair roundups, and I’m completely taken with their collages, prints, posters, and pretty much everything else that they’ve created. Their work is perfect for baby and children’s rooms and adds a wonderful touch of whimsy anywhere. I’d love to have one of their awesome bamboo mobiles (Jungle Friends Mobile shown above) in my office!
