Today's flower project is page corner bookmarks. I saw a tutorial on a blog about how to make something similar, so I got out all my handmade papers and made several of them. They're about 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". I plan to give sets of them as gifts for Mother's Day. The three in the left column are going to my sister in Utah and the three in the right column are going to my mother-in-law in Idaho.

This is a camellia flower that I drew from an old print. I just used watercolor pencils at first but it needed more definition so I added colored pencils on top to help bring out the lights and darks. I sort of like how the paper buckled - it gives a neat but subtle ray-like effect. Yay for happy accidents!
