July 2012
I had these up for sale on etsy, but decided to rather share them for free. I’ve given them as Christmas gifts and they seem to be a hit!
I wanted to make bookmarks with real African. flair, drawing inspiration from townships, villages, metropole, landscapes; places I’ve lived at, people I’ve met. And not a leopard pattern or safari theme in sight. So each month is different, some designs might reflect that month’s international or local theme: like Valentine’s Day or Women’s month.
July has a cameo look to it. But instead of a historical figurehead I used an afro. The background reinds me of lace doilies that my grannies used to crochet.
Every end of the month I’ll upload the following month’s bookmark calendar.
