Hi Miriam and everyone Fun questions! Bookmarks are a nice project for bobbin lace. They don't take long and one pattern can be made variously. As it happens, one of my favourite patterns is a Torchon design by Miriam which we published in Canadian Lacemaker Gazette a while back. I made probably a dozen in all sorts of colours, some were tucked into greeting cards for friends and family, and the rest found their way into a small photo album, that had clear slots on several pages to store negatives - perfect size for a bookmark.
Now that I think of it, I used variegated threads in some of the bookmarks, and I'll post a photo re the topic we had recently of using variegated threads. At this time, if I make a bookmark and it isn't a gift, it goes right away into a book, as is without a plastic sleeve.
