Over the last months I have given away some bookmarks.
The first ones have been at a dinner with some random people. It was a weird supposed dating event with dinner where one attendant was a friend of the owner of the restaurant, two attendants knew each other (and one of them was me), one that was there as a present that was not so well received, another one to replace a friend that could not come. Not really a dating event, that in the end did not interest me so much, but lots of laughs and, from my side, too much food and alcool. :D
At the end I drew quite some bookmarks. I think four. I received pictures only from one of them, I did not think about taking pictures prior. :D I never did bookmarks on the road before.
I did not have the right paper and was not drawing at the best, but you have to start somewhere, right?
We found a name on that day. Tortellino, from the tortillon. Nobody around knew what a tortillon is, and tortellino was the closest word. :D

Shame on me, one of the people I did not draw a "tortellino" for was my friend at that dinner.
Therefore at a dinner some time later (a hot pot, pretty good but maybe a bit overpriced) I prepared bookmarks for him and for another person joining.
My friend is a chess enthusiast.

Later I happened to be at a night at the disco on the 1st of November for a Halloween party. A guy there was celebrating the birthday, and I drew a bookmark for him as well. The lighting is horrible because I was in a club. But it is kind of funny to have it red here! :D
He said he wanted oranges, and so.. I did oranges.

I went on holiday in the Netherlands in November. I tangled bookmarks for the people that started a conversation with me on my first night out at a jazz club. I know the quality is awful, but the light was so little, it was almost like drawing with my eyes closed.

I tangled this one for an ex colleague living in the Hague that I visited the next day. I did it on the train. :)

And we have the last bookmarks from yesterday. There was a Christmas dinner at a friend's place, and at a point I started drawing.

Here I have been asked to draw freedom and stones. Pretty difficult to have them together.
 |
| Ciottoli, Zaungast, Hosopli, Fronde, Corfo. 20 December 2025 |
Here I was asked about flying or birds. I did not want to use again Zaungast, so had to come out with a new pattern. :D
 |
| Printemps, Circus, Uaso, Fleurina. 20 December 2025 |
Here the request was lotus flowers.
 |
| Ciottoli, Sez, Suan. 20 December 2025 |
Here the suggestion was very challenging. Tarots. I drew some secondary elements, drawing the main figures was a bit out of the Zentangle scope and of my drawing skills I would say. :D
