"I still love the smell of books and how visually appealing they are. Did you know that research suggests bookmarks have accompanied books since the origin of the codex in the 1st century AD? The oldest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and was made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back, attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. In late medieval ages, between the 13th and the 15th bookmarks used in manuscripts and incunabula in European monasteries, were mostly made of vellum or leather using the rest of the material which was used to make the book cover, but existence of paper bookmarks has also been noted. Some of them were shaped as a sophisticated rotating disc made of vellum or could indicate the page or the column on the page. The Royal Museum of Brunei showcases an ivory bookmark made in India which is embellished with a geometrical pattern of pierced holes dating from the 16th century.

The idea that a bookmark be used to keep one’s place and protect one’s book gained mass approval, and bookmarks have been produced in a variety of materials ever since. Contemporary bookmarks are made from a variety of material including paper, silver, gold, wood, brass, copper, ivory, plastic, leather, ribbon, and silk. Now I've created one by using my personal craft. Cross-stitch! I hope you enjoy!"
