The Painted Bloom Bookmark

What it is

The Painted Bloom Bookmark is a metal page marker with a painted finish and an openwork pattern. A long tassel hangs from the top, so the marker rests between the pages and the tassel stays visible above the spine. It suits hardcovers, paperbacks and journals.

The metal body is thin enough to sit flat in a book without bending the pages. The painted surface carries the design, and the openwork cutouts let the page show through. Each bookmark arrives with its tassel in the box.

Size and shape

One size, one shape. The bookmark is about 5.9 x 1.6 in (15 x 4 cm), a length that fits most standard books and keeps the tassel clear of the text block.

Colors

Four painted designs are available. Pick one at checkout.

• Iris: a purple bloom with open petals.
• White Rose: a pale rose in full flower.
• Sunflower: a warm golden flower with a dark center.
• Starry Night: a deep blue design with scattered stars.

Each color keeps the same metal body and the same tassel. The paint sits on the front face of the design.

How to use it

Slide the metal body over the page you want to mark, or rest it between two pages near the spine. The tassel hangs outside the book, so you can find your place at a glance.

It works as a page marker for novels, planners, cookbooks and study books. It also sits well in a small stack of books on a shelf or desk. If you use a book stand or a book holder, the tassel stays clear and the marker stays put.

A few ways readers use it:

• Mark a page in a current read.
• Hold a place in a journal or planner.
• Pair it with a book stand on a desk.
• Keep a spare in a tote bag for library trips.

Care

Wipe the metal and the painted face with a dry cloth. Keep it away from water and damp surfaces. Store it flat or hanging by the tassel so the design does not press against other metal items.

A small gift for a reader

This bookmark suits readers who like a painted detail and a tassel they can see from across the room. It pairs well with a book nook kit, a miniature house kit or a wooden puzzle as a reading corner gift. The four colors give you a choice for different readers, and the single-piece metal body keeps it simple to use.
