Rose Bookmark

Every April, Catalonia turns into one giant swap of books and roses for Sant Jordi Day, and this bookmark grew straight out of that tradition. A rose blooms at the top of the design, its petals opening into a trail of curling vines and leaves that run the full length of the piece, cut through in silhouette so the pattern reads from either side of the page. The rose shape at the top is not just decoration. It is shaped to hook over the edge of a page, so the bookmark clips on and holds its spot rather than slipping out the moment you close the cover. A sliver of the rose peeks above the top of the book, ready to find again at a glance. Printed flat in PLA+ with a raw, unsanded finish that shows off every curl of the pattern, it is thin enough to slip into a tightly packed paperback without adding bulk, yet the open lattice keeps it light in the hand. Made to order in Australia in a couple of days. A lovely small gift for the reader who always has three books on the go, whether you are marking your own place or picking one up for someone else's shelf.
