Love Caffeine Bookmark

I created 8 of these, inspired by a friend. No, he's not in medicine, science, or school. He owns a cat. Anytime he puts a book down with a tasseled bookmark his cat, Angelicat, thinks the tassel is her personal toy. So he got metal ones, but those were lost as easily as paper clips and would tear the pages. Then he tried paper ones, but they were thin and half the time would get lost in the books. 

After much teasing about how difficult it must be for him to be torn between his two loves, books and Angelicat, I came up with an answer. I stitched two pieces of felt I had into a bookmark. The thickness allowed it to be easily found (I even tested it in my huge old biochem book). The fabric and size made it easy to keep track of (good for my absent minded buddy). Angelicat didn't notice it (cat-tested and cat-proof my feline friends).

So I made a few Angelicat inspired bookmarks with some of the concepts I've been enjoying lately. Check out the limited release on ETSY!
