Origami Bookmarks (I mean real bookmarks, not web bookmarks)

Does anyone know any origami bookmarks? I am looking for real bookmarks, not bookmarks to homepages!

I was reading Robert LangÂ´s "Origami Design Secrets" when I wondered if there was a good origami bookmark I could fold to use with ODS.

A google search for origami and bookmark also gives you a lot of results.
For example:

Once I came up with an elephant bookmark. Do you think it's worth diagramming? Would you like to fold it?

i find that book marks are not that good normally when i make bookmarks i tend to lose them or just leave them in the book when im done

Thanks! Diagramming is in progress.

When I showed this bookmark to my family, nobody could recognise elephant in it.

It looks like the the elephants on the beginning chapter of ODS.

their eyes must not have been conditioned by thousands of shapes and suggestion that a "ture" origamist would have been trained with when searching for the next great fold. or maybe we are just dillusional

Origamists as artists certainly have much more developped perceptive senses.

Btw, diagram of elephant bookmark is finished. Check my site.

Esato: You may check the similarity to elephants from ODS

Have fun!

thanks for the diagrams, just folded it and it works great as a bookmark ^_^
wonder if you got any other animal-like bookmarks

You're welcome!

Unfurtunately that's the only bookmark I designed. But if I doodle something else I'll let you know.

Best regards,
