Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft / Other

Most of you probably ignore this, since I never post this kind of works on dA, but I love paper crafting!
As far as I remember, I've always loved to play around with paper - I love it so much that I made it my job

(I own a shop and I mostly sell stationery and scrapbooking supplies).

"Who cares?" I hear you saying

Ok, I'll go straight to the point: this month #ArtisanCraft's challenge is "Bookmarks" and, being A) a paper craft enthusiast and B) a bookworm, I couldn't help but jump in joy (well, not literally).

My attention was captured by this deviation and the tutorial linked in it. I love the idea of "corner" bookmarks made out of envelopes!

Of course, I gave the idea my own 'twist': instead of book-eating monsters, I went for summery kites flying through your book pages! (and that's where the name comes from. Book + kite = bookite!!

I'm delirious.

)

I wrote down a tutorial with step-by-step pictures, in case you want to have a bookite on your own! You can find it here.

Eh, I really wrote a lot.
