Decorating pages one at a time

I have done some thinking and with a spurt of creative genius (if you can call it that), I redesigned and renovated my miniature chiyogami doll bookmarks.  The first thing you may notice that that she is bigger.  A LOT bigger.  The dimensions ballooned from 2 x 5.5 cm to 3 x 8.5 cm.  While the little ones are absolutely awesome, there are some benefits to this new substantial size and some design changes.  A bigger size means that she will not get lost as easy.  Her hair is made from black bond paper which will lay flatter inside your book.  And last but not least, she now has 4x the magnet power to keep your place inside your book.

It also allows me to be a little more creative with hairstyle and it is a great way to use up some thin strips of discontinued paper.  Meet my first one, Umi, who is now for sale on Zibbet and Etsy.  I have been diligently chugging away on these and I have 4 different styles so far which will all be uploaded soon enough!  

But please, tell me what you think!  I value your feedback more than anything and these changes were due to some wonderful feedback I received from friends and family members.

Back to work!  I have many more bookmarks to assemble before tomorrow...
