About the Craft
This set of eight bookmarks represents hours of patient artistic work, where each piece is lovingly hand-painted by skilled artisans from Karnataka. The top four bookmarks showcase delightful Gond-inspired parrots in green and maroon, perched on delicate lines against watercolour washes that suggest sky and water. The bottom four celebrate botanical beauty with red coneflowers, lavender stalks, and blue daisies painted in soft watercolours on pastel backgrounds. The artists use a combination of watercolour painting and poster colour painting, enhanced with fine details added using gel pens. Each bookmark is carefully crafted on good quality paper, ensuring durability whilst maintaining the delicate aesthetic of watercolour art. Made with love and passion, these bookmarks reflect the personal touch that only handmade items can offer, where slight variations between pieces add to their unique charm.
Speciality
What makes these bookmarks truly special is their handcrafted nature and artistic diversity. Unlike mass-produced bookmarks, each piece carries the artist's personal touch and creative expression. The watercolour technique creates soft, dreamy backgrounds that don't distract from reading but enhance the overall book experience. The variety within the set means you can match your bookmark to your mood or the book's theme, making reading even more enjoyable and personalised.
How to Care?
