Each custom order bookmark is cut, drawn and painted by hand on heavyweight cardstock, and is comes enclosed in a protective plastic cover. All designs are hand drawn and unique.

Please indicate what subject matter and any personalization you would like depicted on your bookmark while filling out your information in the shopping cart. There is an area for comments in which to leave me instructions. Drawings will be whimsical and delicately hand-drawn and colored (as seen in image example above).

Need ideas for subject matter? I am often asked to depict a variety of animals, flowers, religious themes, lighthouses, ships, computers, caricatures of famous authors, images of nature, symbols of hobbies, symbols of occupations such as a nurse or teacher, and so on. You may indicate what color accents you'd like and I will do my best to match it. If I am unable to, please let me choose the color accents.

Price: $5

Labels: books, budget, stationery, whimsical

Denatured Book: Ship

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

This denatured book features a parchment-look cover with an aged map and a statement that "the world is covered by freedom, for it is covered by the sea." Though it may seem strange for a person very much land-locked in a plains state, the idea of endless water seems to be the epitome of freedom.

But wait a minute. Looks are deceiving. In a small glass bottle towards the bottom of the inside diorama, a small note reads "Save me." Even in our own search for freedom, we become bound.

The wooden display case is finished to looked aged and connected to the sea, with the backdrop a collection of book interior pages.

Size: 16" x 22" x 3" (exterior frame measurements)

Denatured Book: Rodent

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

I still enjoy reading books meant for children or young adults simply because their story lines seem purer in their goal to free the mind to imagine. There are no obligatory elements or controls often seen in adult literature.

A popular source of material for children's books, surprisingly, are rodents. Ralph and the Motorcycle, The Secret of NIHM, and so on. For some reason, we find it a great source of entertainment to envision the secret lives of animals smaller than us, little worlds existing in our gardens and walls.

This "Rodents" book was meant to join the great collection of rodent-themed literature, offering the viewer a look into the varying lives of rich mice vs. poor mice, and who can afford the better contractor.

Size: 16" x 22" x 3" (exterior frame measurments)

Price: $500

Denatured Book: Letters

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

What else tells our story best, but the letters we write?

Unfortunately, with technology as it is, people are more prone to use email, text messaging or the telephone to communicate. I've always thought that was a real shame because so many of the letters of the past by both the famous and infamous are now part of our literary history. It's much less likely we'll be printing out and saving all of the emails and messages we now receive.

This book is less a book than a box, meant to hold letters. Because I don't receive a great quantity of mail, I created my own letters. These are letters to anyone, letters that might be something found in an attic or antique store and rediscovered anew by someone far removed from their source.

Size: 16" x 22" x 3" (exterior frame measurements)

Denatured Book: Journal

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

Journals don't have to be plain old diaries. Art and collage can do the work just as well as writing can. And that's what this book is about: telling a story without too many words.

This book opens in three places, with each section featuring a variety of materials, techniques, writings and moveable parts. Each element is personal, having a symbolic meaning for events in my life. But, despite it being about me, there is much in it that can speak to another person just like any good journal can.

The frame is covered with excerpts from my regular written journals, and the background of the frame is covered with pieces from the interior of old books.

Size: 16" x 22" x 3" (exterior frame measurements)
Other: Comes with wooden display frame; book is easily removed.
Price: $700

Denatured Book: Fly Away

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

This book opens in the center to reveal the pop-out of a hand-cut dove. The paper dove has pearlescent painted lines on its body, swirling about to form an abstract take on feathers.

The cover and background of the book all have phrasing that advocate a wish to be made into a bird and fly away, fly far, far away. How many times have you ever wished to escape the place you are for something that seems much better?

The wing pattern on the wooden exterior frame glows slightly in the dark.
