Aslan is on the move

You'll find this passage in the 8th chapter of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,:

"That’s right,” said the Beaver. “Poor fellow, he got wind of the arrest before it actually happened and handed this over to me. He said that if anything happened to him I must meet you here and take you on to—” Here the Beaver’s voice sank into silence and it gave one or two very mysterious nods. Then signalling to the children to stand as close around it as they possibly could, so that their faces were actually tickled by its whiskers, it added in a low whisper—

“They say Aslan is on the move—perhaps has already landed.”

And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different.

I read the book as a child—or perhaps my mother first read it to me?—and I do so remember Aslan being "on the move." It stuck with me.

And so when I went to print bookmarks for the first time, the idea was already there, waiting.

I wrote more about the process in this 2017 blog post.

Bookmarks are printed in 30 and 24 point Futura on yellow card stock from Japan. Each is 6 x 2 inches (5.5 cm x 15 cm).
