Crazy Tuesday theme: “Bookmarks” 😊
Antique hand made wooden bookmark!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
In June 1991 I went to Tokyo, to stay with a friend who worked at the New Zealand Embassy there. By day she went to work, while I tripped about on my own. On one of the days I took a local tour that included a visit to the Tokyo Tower. As a memento, everyone on the tour was given a gold filigree bookmark with the tower featuring on it. Mine got put into a big photo album of my photos from the trip and has sat there ever since, until I brought it out to take this photo. At 332.9 metres tall, the Tokyo Tower is the second tallest structure in the country. Its design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Built in 1958, it is painted every 5 years and is brightly coloured due to international air safety regulations. More than 150 million people have been up the tower since it was opened to the public. HMM 😍
A doodle with a quote for my book of Shakti Gawain .... Awakening,
Thanks for the visit have a nice day.
Haven't had a lot of time to clay the past couple of months, but started making these for fun and have had a WONDERFUL time. They will go to "my" gallery up the road and some will find their way to Etsy.
Macro Mondays bookmark theme.
Well the 1st image failed and was removed in MM because the date in my new camera was showing before the theme in error. Let's try this one since a new lens just arrived! HMM
5 pointillism style Miniature paintings on one side of bookmark by Ganesh Kelagina Beedu Shenoy (me).
This cotton bookmark, CA 1900, is starting to show some wear, but is in remarkably good condition and still retains its bright colours. It was handed down to me with a leather bound book titled "The Poetical Works of Lord Byron" The cover is embossed with a small decorative "B" in gold.
I like homemade herbs bookmarks.
They work very well and have beautiful scent.
Very easy to make. Just put fresh herb into a book and let it dry inside for a few weeks.
Then you open the book again and your scented bookmark is ready.
This one is homegrown lavender.

A year ago, these bookmarks were going for several dollars a roll. Sometimes you have to go with what's available in the reading room.
Our daughter drew this salmon for her dad before she got married and gave it to him the day before her wedding day. He was thrilled and still uses it to this day. She and her husband got married June 1, 2005 I think. Dang it's tough getting old! It's hard to get it's full effect without showing the whole thing but she's a good artist. She's a school Librarian and before that she was a HS English Teacher.
Sitting on the beach with no bookmark I did as I many times do, used the nearest piece of paper for a Bookmark. This bookmark is an index card for insurance information!!!!!!!!!! That is all I had!!!!!
Macro Mondays Theme: Bookmark
The bookmark of an almost 100 years old ledger. It was replaced because the old bookmark was in shreds.

😄Thanks for views,faves and comments😄
The ribbon was a built in bookmark when I got this book, but when I decided to use it as a journal, I added the metal bookmark so I had a straight edge for drawing lines.
came in the mail today!
I am really happy with the quality.
I will be stamping the backs and packing them up tonight, listing them tomorrow.
Herbs bookmark are easy to make and they have beautiful scent.
Fresh homegrown sage was placed inside a book and left alone for a few weeks.
Then the book was opened again and the bookmark was dehydrated and ready to use.
COMMENT: THE FLICKR MESS
Well as usual Flickr finds a way to stuff up this platform. You are now probably aware of the fact that they have unilaterally (against the will of most subscribers) changed the way the Activities Feed is run.
No longer will we get a direct look at the latest posting from our followers, and you won't see mine. [Although I suspect I've been shadow banned for some time now, especially because of my stand against bot use and the biggest bot of all on Flickr - the ridiculous Explore algorithm which keeps rewarding the same accounts over and over again.]
What was once a photography community is no more and people are leaving Flickr in droves. I will give some links here to the latest developments in the Help Forum (or is that Hell?). But if the views I have received from yesterday's postings is any indication numbers will fall off dramatically. Of course what Flickr wants us to do is spend all day trawling Flickr pages randomly faving and hoping to attract reciprocal visits and views. Most of us have better things to do, and frankly I am at the point where if Flickr fails then Que será, será.
The question for many will be where to next? The other social media platforms have no interest in furthering photography either and are substantially worse. Social media is all about addiction, mind control, the narcissistic desire for hits and generating advertising revenue. And for this we pay our Pro subscriptions. Well, not for much longer!
I'd be interested to know what you think, but most people so far have seen a noticeable drop-off in viewer numbers. The Flickr geeks are just so clever.
Links to the discussions in the Help Forum (with little to no response from the aforesaid geeks, unless their feelings are hurt. We must show respect! R.E.S.P.E.C.T. seems to only work one way on Flickr).

Notice how many of these threads have been closed by Flickr - they don't want discussion.
My favourite comment from one of these Help Threads:
"July 5th - a sad day for me and I believe even more so for Flickr.
Activity Feed is not fit for the purpose many of us require.
Most suicides leave a note, but Flickr staff did not." (Says it all really). www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157721800883239/page6/#...
* Mind you, since I am not posting this bookmark in many groups I am sure not many will read this anyway. So to Flickr. Thanks for nothing. We bailed you out a few years ago by purchasing several years subscriptions in advance and yet you no longer listen to us. When does my subscription run out?
