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.

I'm playing with several things lately: learning how to make popup cards, how to paint and shade using ink and watercolors, and how to use my new inkjet printer. Here I duplicated a balloon shape originally drawn with brown pen and inks, then printed out several pieces to collage on a V-fold pop-up card. The result is an explosion!!!

I participated in the 2024 Zentangle BeWell event. Instead of using triangular tiles, I created a white base pop-up card using almost exclusively triangular V-folds and added each tangle of the event every day. The main challenge of this project was to make something that would flatten out completely so that I can draw over it after the pop-up is constructed. Here’s the final piece!

I'm participating in the Zentangle BeWell2024 event. Instead of using triangular tiles, I created these white base pop-up cards using almost exclusively triangular V-folds, one tangle a day on each v-fold. I made two cards. The main challenge of this project was to make something that would flatten out completely so that I can draw over it after the pop-up is constructed. The videos of the cards can be seen on my blog.
