Theme Thursday - Bookmarks

This bookmark was made in early summertime using petals from flowers and leaves from shrubs. The petals and leaves were pounded causing the "juice" to soak into the watercolor paper. I have digitally added the text. The theme for Theme Thursday this week is Bookmarks. (With all the bookmarks I own, I still usually use an old envelope!) The purple is Siberian iris; the red and the green are barberry leaves. I've found that Japanese maple leaves also do very well with pounding.
