This is a listing for ONE double sided bookmark.

--------About the designs and inspiration--------

All of my designs are originally hand painted by me with my beloved watercolour paints.

They are then digitally printed onto strong, great quality paper and made into bookmarks.

Please note that you will receive one double sided bookmark. One side will feature my pattern and the other will feature the illustration by @fc.lipoedeme on instagram.

--------Why did I create this design?--------

I have lipoedema in my arms, hips, thighs and calves.

Lipoedema is a chronic and progressive disorder of the adipose tissue. It’s often called painful fat syndrome, and it mainly affects women (though there are some cases of male sufferers). It is marked by the abnormal storage and distribution of subcutaneous fat. Lipoedema can occur at any age, with newer research showing that the disease generally manifests itself during puberty, pregnancy or other times of hormonal change. It is thought that genes play a role, although more research is desperately needed into this disease. It can ultimately lead to loss of mobility.
