Studio bookmarks for Martenitsa festival

By  Anna Keleher 2025

I’ve been experimenting with the potentials of the bookmark unit through making calligraphic drawings.  
This couple represent the Martenitsa amulets of Bulgarian folklore / popular folk culture. 
The dolls in the portraits were a Martenitsa gift from a Bulgarian friend as part  of the Martenitsa springtime celebration. 
I tried making some Martenitsa dolls and pom-poms from a traditional pattern.
