1, the first step is to cut the bookmark, cut the white cardboard into strips with scissors, pay attention to the width, and don't cut it too wide or too narrow.
2. The second step: spreading water and preliminary dyeing. Soak the brush with water and gently smear it on the bookmark surface. When the white paper is still wet, use a brush to touch rouge and blush to dye the flower tree.
3. Step 3, continue to smudge, and show different branches of the flower tree by clicking, pressing and wiping with a brush. Pay attention to mixing pigments with clear water to distinguish the shades of colors.
4. Step 4: Continue to smudge, so as to create a completely dyed flower tree. Patiently use the brush to deepen the picture layer by layer. If you think the color is lighter, you can cover it with a darker red. Pay attention to draw different levels of the flower tree to create the effect that the flower tree is fully dyed.
5. Step five, draw the trunk and branches, and draw the trunk and branches of the flower tree with dark ochre. Note that some branches are hidden by flowers and can't be drawn. Tie a ribbon on the bookmark, cut a small gap at the top of the bookmark with a utility knife, put the ribbon in and tie a knot.
The function and origin of bookmarks:
Bookmark pictures are random and have a wide range of sources, and many things can be bookmarked. In addition to graphic content, art bookmarks are often innovative in materials and shapes. There are many kinds of bookmarks nowadays, including paper bookmarks, metal bookmarks and customized bookmarks of various shapes. Bookmarks are more convenient than folding books to record page numbers, and the damage to books is lower.
Bookmarks originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they were called Yali, that is, bookmarks made of ivory. Later, the scroll book was folded, and the toothpicks became thinner, made of bone chips or cardboard, and some even stuck a layer of patterned silk on the thin sheet. The toothpicks originally inserted in the scroll became bookmarks sandwiched in the book. After the Song Dynasty, the bookmark style was basically finalized, which is almost what it is now.
