Art Idea - Bookmarks

Some of the pictures I've taken would work well in a very long, or very tall format.  I've been wanting to turn some of them into bookmarks.  It seems like a very fitting project for me, since I usually have 5 or 6 books I'm reading at any one time, and I only have a couple of bookmarks.

Panorama of First Lake in Lower Sackville, NS

Panorama of Keji Lake

Kite panorama


I'd also like to cut strips of watercolor paper, paint them, maybe laminate them, and use them as bookmarks as well.  I've made a couple of bookmarks this way, but I didn't laminate them and they got wet and smudged a bit.


Bookmarks, flowers in watercolor, pansies and roses
I made a couple more over the Christmas break.

I might try sealing them with varnish or something and see how that works.
