The Kansas River Flood of 1903 Metal Bookmark

Keep your place in history with The Kansas River Flood of 1903 Metal Bookmark, featuring my original mixed-media artwork created for Episode 4: Early Memories Near Topeka in The Biography of Earl Dewey Fisher audiobook series. Inspired by Earl's childhood memory of watching a house drift down the flooded Kansas River during the historic flood of 1903, this bookmark transforms a remarkable family story into a lasting keepsake.

The artwork was created primarily with colored pencil, with India ink pen adding the gray tones, alongside mechanical pencil, fine liner pen, and an acrylic paint pen border before being digitally refined in Snapseed. Printed on a durable metal bookmark, the vivid artwork serves as a meaningful companion for every reading session.

Whether you're reading history books, genealogy records, novels, scriptures, or journals, this bookmark is a practical accessory that celebrates the preservation of stories across generations.

Thin, sturdy aluminum bookmark painted with a single-sided, vibrant illustration that brings a quiet story to the page. The rounded top and smooth edges slip easily between pages while the U-shaped slot hooks a page so the marker won’t slip. Lightweight and brushed-metal on the reverse, it carries bold color without adding bulk to your book bag. It feels like the small, deliberate pause between chapters — a moment to step back and carry the scene with you until you return.
