October Iris Folding Class

I had a fun afternoon teaching Iris Folding.  It is one of my favorite classes to teach mainly because of the beautiful papers we get to use.  Today's class was another success and everyone made beautiful cards.  The kimono is always my favorite. Everybody gets to pick out their own papers and no matter what they do the kimonos come out stunning. One of the ladies is taking her kimono to a printer and having cards made from it. Thank you ladies for coming to my class and letting me take pictures of your cards.  I usually have 2 or 3 iris folding classes a year so if you couldn't make this one I will be doing more next year.

Iris Folding Class

I love teaching people how to do iris folding.  I think mainly because of the beautiful papers you can work with and the combinations of patterns and colors.  I wish I could decorate my house like I can put paper and patterns together but that's another story.  Anyway, this is one of the cards we will be making in my iris folding class Sunday October 24th.  I will also be doing a Christmas tree, kimono (suitable for framing) and if we have the time and energy a pumpkin.  If you have not signed up for this class there is still some space available.  I have a lot of prep work to do for this class so I would really like to know at least a week before class exactly how many people will be attending.  Hope to see a bunch of new faces and old faces.  This class is always fun and you even get to pick out some of your own papers for a couple of the projects.  Come prepared to put colors and patterns together that you never thought would go together but come out beautifully in the finished project.  Look on the class schedule for more information.

Iris Folding Class

I had another Iris Folding class yesterday and it was a great class.
It was a little intense at first but as everyone got the hang of the iris folding things loosened up. As usual Shelley gave me a hard time and didn't want to follow directions, (just kidding Shelley it's always fun having you in my classes.) Anyway, by the end of the class everyone was able to put together their own colors for their kimonos and as you can see from the pictures all the projects turned out beautiful. Thank you to all the ladies who came to the class. I love doing these kinds of classes.

Iris Folding Class

It is a fun class and once you take this class and learn to iris fold no telling where it will take you. Several people have told me about seeing beautiful framed scenes for sell at art shows all done with iris folding. You will be able to pick your own papers from different patterns and colors that I will provide for the class. The picture seen here is of a previous class.

Japanese Paper Quilting Class

I love doing these kinds of classes. I always feel a little stressed when I decide to let people pick their own papers for the Japanese paper quilting and the Iris folding classes but it always works out great. It takes a little longer for the class but I love the combinations of patterns and colors people put together. Here are some pictures from the class I just did with pictures of some of the cards. Thank you to everyone who came to the class. It was a great class and I enjoyed doing it.

Washi Paper Quilting

Washi Paper Quilting is a unique fun way to create beautiful three dimensional (3D) "puffy" designs. Washi Paper Quilting is based on a tradional Japanese doll making technique call "Kime Komi" and Oshie. Japanese kimono fabric is used on the dolls, but Hanko Designs decided to incorporate Japanses Washi paper instead. The handmade silk screened Washi Paper enables you to addapt the "Kime Komi: technique. We just got in 2 of their new Washi Paper Quilting kits. The kits include patterns, foam, board and instructions, just add paper. Also check out some of Hanko's beautiful papers at Wingdoodle. The papers can be used for Iris Folding, Origami and general card making.

Another Iris Folding Class

I had another great iris folding class. We used so many exquisite papers and all the projects turned out beautiful and different. My next iris folding class will be in September and that class will be iris folding for Christmas cards.

Iris Folding

This was one of the best classes, everyone's projects turned out beautiful and different. We made three cards a shamrock, an Easter basket and a kimono. The kimonos were stunning and everyone's favorite project. All of them are worthy of framing and displaying. The pictures I took don't do them justice. For those of you who missed this class I will be holding another iris folding class in May. Other than the kimono we will be doing different projects in the class. So watch the blog for a date.
