Nagomi Pastel Art Bookmark

First time making this Nagomi pastel art bookmark. It is a form of Japanese art healing founded in Japan, using soft pastels and your fingers to touch and connect the colours directly that may activate your inner self-healing naturally. “NAGOMI” means harmony. I bought a box of pastel from Daiso to try out for fun.
