Recently I had some fun with accordion folds on watercolor paper. These were cards for friends.
Embroidery floss tied into each end wraps & ties them into a gift waiting to be opened. You can fold them up into compact cards to fit in an envelope for mailing, and then, the receiver can arrange them to stand up prettily on a table top.
I'm looking forward to a handmade book art time with a friend. Folded structures & pop-ups!
In the meantime, things have gotten busier in my life
with some fun new work each week!
These so work with watercolors.

ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me how you make these? I would like to make some for some friends who recently lost relatives. It's been a very long, cold winter and they could use a touch of spring. Just some simple instructions would be great. Thank you so much!
