If you are the kind of person who still uses a real bookmark, this one is for you. Wide enough to see easily, long enough not to fall out, with a cord to hang over the top of the spine. The leafy shell border took a little patience but it is what makes it feel finished. Like something that belongs in a good book rather than something you just tucked in as an afterthought.

Making it from nylon cord means it will hold its shape and its color wash after wash. The two little fans running down the center give it structure without bulk, and the cherry blossom bouquet at the cord tip is the kind of detail that makes people pick it up and ask where you got it.
