Top left-cutout of bird in copper, copper wire to be used for the staff part.

Above are some ideas that I have for my bookmark.  I have settled on the staff bookmark.  there will be a pendant that sits on the spine of the book with a staff that hooks over the spine and to the page you are holding.  I was inspired to have my theme for the pendant be somewhat romantic.  I was looking though my novels that I own and I came across "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks.  My mind kind of wandered over some of the scenes and came to one of my favorite short quotes form the book that stated "If you're a bird, I'm a bird."  Its quite cheesy but I kind of ran with it, thinking I could add a cutout of a bird.  So I researched bird silhouettes until I found one that suited my fancy.  For this project we had to incorporate rivets and some kind of texture.  I immediately chose tube rivets because they just look so interesting on everything else I have seen and my last encounter with a normal wire rivet was not pretty.  For the texture I want something rough that you could visibly and physically feel but I haven't gotten quite that far yet.  But I think I have the gist of what I want to do now! Yay!
