This stunning bookmark features a historical illustration of the classical beast known as the cockatrice. Traditionally stories of the cockatrice say that it had the ability to kill people by looking at them. You can find examples in art of the cockatrice as early as the late 14th century. The cockatrice bookmark itself is crafted from hand selected leather and the historical illustration (over 100 years old) has been remastered so it works well engraved into the leather with a laser. The engraving means that it won’t peel off or crack like some printing can produce.

    Made out of Leather

    These bookmarks are made out of handle selected veggie tan cow leather. 


    Why We Use Leather

    • Leather lasts for years.
    • Leather can be composted.
    • Leather is durable, yet thin and flexible.
    • Veggie tanned leather is tanned traditionally using plants. 
    • Leather is a byproduct of the meat industry and even if you don't eat meat many of our animal companions do. Rather than let anything go to waste we stand by the First Nation tradition of using all of the parts of an animal if it is killed.
    • Leather is a traditional First Nation medium and our artist grew up using it since her parents are both registered tribal members.

     

    Materials We Avoid

    We are always looking for other durable yet compostable materials. We are following plant based leathers but at this time have not found one that doesn't contain plastic or resin.

    • Synthetic leathers (faux leather) when engraved release toxic fumes 
    • Acrylic when engraved also releases toxic fumes
