The Bad Bookmark (Lemony Snicket style)

[WizardGlick]

The title of this post is actually a misnomer-"misnomer" is a word which here means "misleading about the quality of the bookmark by naming it the opposite of what it really is." Or at least that's how Lemony Snicket might explain it in Series of Unfortunate Events.  This is what I made for my friend for Valentine's day. On the front, I wrote a letter from the bookmark (in Snicket font, Courier new) apologizing for holding the reader's place in this miserable story. The back has a personal message from me. Kinko's laminated it for me. The beads are amber and clear glass, except for one. The other bead has an engraving of the mysterious Count Olaf eye, made from tan polymer clay. I used embroidery floss for the tassle. I coated the tassle tips with fabric glue, so hopefully they won't unravel. Darn tassle was an ordeal in itself!  But I like the result and so did my friend. He was laughing, so I'm happy.

I am enamored of this, "enamored" being a word which means intensely fond of.

Nice work. And great call on the glued ends of the tassel too. Hate when they unravel.
