What fun! I hadn't gone to look before and was assuming your bookmarks would be printed versions of some of your lovely designs (which would also be nice, if more standard).

But you need to do some QA on your website. A few of the items wouldn't display and quite a number of items that were in the 'already sold' list still came up with prices and 'add to cart' buttons. (Either that or it was confusing which section I was in.)

Is there something about the site design limits you to displaying them in single columns? They get a bit long to scroll through. Displaying in a grid of 3 or 4 across would be nice.

It was a bit odd that when I clicked to see the string-style ones, the double end list was still displayed to the left. Also, is there a functional reason for the string-style ones being loops? Like are you supposed to loop it over the front cover of the book as well as marking your page? Pictures of the bookmarks in use might be good (tricky to decide what book to use to demo!).

A suggestion: Group together the ones that can double as necklaces so people could easily find them. I think that's a feature that should be highlighted.

I'm contemplating a site redesign, but it may take a while (I have to learn to implement PHP and MySQL to get the functionality I'm after. (I want to get away from using frames)) A grid of three or four across should work with the new format.

I nested the framesets because I wanted people to be able to still see the fancier ones when looking at the simpler designs.

Not all of the string-style ones are loops, some are double-ended, but the loops take half the time and materials, so I can sell them for less and more people buy them. They do loop through a book, and the long ones wrap into a book. I've been thinking of putting up some shots of them being used both ways, as jewelry (there are several ways to wear the long double-ended ones) and in books.

I like the suggestion of grouping the wearable ones separately. Thanks!

Kewl, almost looks like a skeleton hand.

When is jewelry like a Rorschac test? :)

It would be interesting to make something that looked more explicitly like a skeleton hand - for Halloween.
