Popup Flower Class

Wow, what an intense class this was! Last Sunday Art Clubbers and I created a 3-dimensional pop-up flower card that can be neatly folded and sent through the mail. I started the class by showing some examples that I created:

We started the class by using watercolors to paint the background of the flower templates, base card and cover.

Next, we decorated and tangled over the flowers.

Then we cut the petals and assembled the flower.

Finally we added the flower to the decorated background card!

Feel free to pin or share these pictures if you like.

Another super weird pop-up! Here I used a twisting mechanism, which rotates 90 degrees as the card opens and closes. On top of that I added a number of add-ons and the result is pretty crazy! Tangles are Twing, Crescent Moon, Printemps (all Zentangle) and also Fescurus Verae (Veronica Vazquez Orozco) and some other things that don't have names.

Asymmetric Flower Popup

I’ve been away on a family reunion, during which I barely had any time to draw. Here is one piece, though, that I managed to make during this time. The challenge was to create an asymmetric pop-up composition using mostly V-folds. Not sure it’s my favorite composition for pop-ups, but it was fun to see how it came along in a very unusual way.

A SECOND little sampler booklet of popup mechanisms, this time exploring Angle folds (V-folds). I especially like the double V-folds that point at each other and make the extensions (arms) rotate wildly.

Yesterday Art Clubbers and I completed Part 3 of the Bailarine Pop-up card. This is the last project of the club! It was a three part series that will be available at my video shop as a video recorded class in a month or two. Tangles were Toodles, Tink, Msst and Bailarine. Such fun!!!
