I wanted to make a few little gifts for Christmas so I decided to paint some bookmarks. The hole at the bottom is where I will thread coloured ribbon through.
I used mainly watercolours then added a few details with coloured pencil. I really liked the tall thin format, I'd like to try something slightly bigger using the same shape.
My favourite is the tree because of the way the colours flowed into each other, entirely accidental, it's all hit and miss when I use watercolour, but then that's one of watercolour's endearing qualities(?)

Gorgeous bookmarks!
Your bookmarks are so lovely ! Lucky recipients will be thrilled for sure ! Your robin is so cute !
These are beautiful Cathy! Lucky recipients :-)
Gorgeously painted bookmarks! I would love to be one of the recipient, but I can't because I am not a lady :p
Anyway, thanks for the comments, and have a Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year!
That's a great idea! I love the face on the little bird, especially! Your work is beautiful!
Beautiful paintings - love the croppings. I make lots of them that are folded and have magnets, so you never lose them.
What lovely gifts, so beautifully painted. I'm sure they will be gratefully received.
In case, I forget later -
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I see one stunning bird. Think that I should get to know you better-the bookmark is lovely.
The tree and the birds!! Absolutely gorgeous!! The robin looks just like one that came visiting this morning!
Someone is going to be very blessed to receive such a gift!
Blessings for a wonderful Christmas!

Gorgeous - especially that robin - love them all. I like that format too and I like the way you've cropped the subjects to fit. I may steal this idea next year. x
