Wire Wrapped Bookmarks - Flora and Heart Themed

Continuation of the wire wrapped bookmarks from last few days.
Here is a closer look at the flora and heart-themed bookmarks.
Look at the whole thing here - http://www.wireblissmei.com/2019/12/beaded-wire-wrapped-bookmarks.html
Instead of flat, these bookmarks' end stick out on top of the book.
I use 15ga stainless steel wire for all of them.

Wire Wrapped Bookmarks - Flat Ends

Happy First day of the year 2020 to all WireBliss followers, readers, visitors.
I hope this new decade would be a great, happy, healthy, prosperous and successful one for all of you.

To start off the new year will be the continuation of yesterday's post for bookmarks.
We have a closer look at the "flat" bookmarks.
As you can see, the beads sit flat on the surface when in use.

The size of wire is 15 gauge.

Beaded Wire Wrapped Bookmarks

Is reading books a dying art?
The answer can be yes or no.
With the internet and modern devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, ebook readers, etc, etc., our reading habit changes from the physical form of reading materials to digital forms instead.
It's so easy to access millions of reading material online and read to our heart content...of course if we have the time :)
So, what is the use of these beaded wire wrapped bookmarks if we read fewer and fewer books?
Well, some of us still love to hold and read physical books on our hands. 
The feeling of holding a book, the texture of the paper is just different from reading an ebook.
Like me...hehe....but I must admit reading more online though.

WireBliss - Beaded Wire Wrapped Bookmarks - Top Heavy
These three are top-heavy instead of dangling at the side of the book

They are all made of 15g stainless steel wire
Involved lots of hammering and knocking

The wire bending to shape the bottom of the bookmark can be torturous. Yikes. Involve lots of finger and wrist power :D 
Still not finish editing and choosing the pics...will continue later.
