Have always been in awe of what simple things can create with the fingers wrapped around it.
Here is my hairpin that I used for my hair, that I pulled apart just enough to give me the breadth of the hairpin lace bookmark that I had designed to make.
Any hairpin loom or prong would be too large for me for making a bookmark, and this was my own self made loom so very tiny.
Then I started working gimps the length desired, with a pretty cotton thread. The colors were so vibrant. I used size 1.65 mm hook for gathering the loops to create these bookmarks.
They are so wafer thin and yet look so full and layered and with a 3 d effect creating an illusion of depth.
Enjoy the instructions in pictures. Leave a comment for me ..I love to hear from all my visitors and friends.
Did you know that my name "Shanti" means "Peace" just as in "Shalom"?
So until next time,
Lots of love
