The bookmark collection at Hand of Stardust is officially open for business — and these four are where it all starts. Covering a lot of ground from iconic art history to gothic graveyards to a zombie cat who has absolutely no business being this charming, all four are designed by C3D, printed and finished by hand here in my studio in the Netherlands.
Here's the full set:
The Bookmarks
Great Waves: A 3D printed reinterpretation of Katsushika Hokusai's iconic woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. One of the most recognisable images in art history, now keeping your place in a book... which feels entirely appropriate. A small hole at the top lets you add your own tassel or ribbon. A wonderful gift for lovers of Japanese art, history readers, or anyone who appreciates beautiful design with a little more meaning behind it.
Moonlight Flower Night: For the reader who does their best reading when the rest of the world has gone quiet. This one comes in two variants: Waning Crescent and Waxing Crescent, each featuring delicate flowers and their own arrangement of stars. A crescent-shaped hole at the top lets you add a tassel, ribbon, or charm. Perfect for the fantasy or romantasy reader who appreciates the quieter, more atmospheric side of their reading life.
Ravencroft Cemetery: A full moon, a raven watching from the branches, ominous clouds rolling in, and your book waiting patiently beneath it all. All the drama of a gothic novel cover, scaled down to fit between your pages. Printed in Galaxy Gold and Stardust Purple glitter filament for an extra touch of mystical sparkle. A cross-shaped hole at the top for your tassel or charm. Perfect for dark romance readers, gothic fiction fans, and anyone whose bookshelf already has a distinctly haunted energy.
Zombie Cat: Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back from the dead, and apparently it decided to spend its second life keeping your place in a book. This long, stretchy-limbed zombie cat clips over the top of your page and hangs down the front... a two-tone design in white and grey that is exactly as delightfully unsettling as it sounds. For the horror reader, the dark fantasy fan, or anyone who thinks their bookmarks should have a little more personality than a piece of ribbon.
Just the Beginning
These four are the first bookmarks to join the Hand of Stardust shop, but they won't be the last. C3D has a wonderful catalogue of designs and I'll be adding more over time. If you want to be first to know when new ones arrive, follow along on Instagram (@handofstardust).
In the meantime, you can find all four in the Book & Bookshelf Accessories section of the shop. And if you like what C3D creates, their Patreon is well worth a visit. 📚
