Faux Iris Folding

DATE:  Sunday, May 19th

TIME:  12:30 TO 2:30

COST:  $25

Iris folding.  What is that?  It's strips of paper glued down in the shape of the Iris of the lens of a camera.  Did you think Iris was the name of some lady who invented it?  Nope.  It mimics the lens on your camera.

This is a very addicting technique and I think you'll enjoy learning the mechanics of putting some cards together with nothing but paper and glue.

I've created two cards for you today.  This first one is more of a ladder effect - very different from the usual "iris" effect.  You will be provided with templates (yours to keep) for this class.  The creation of the templates is another class entirely and if this is something you'd like to pursue, we can set up another class on this technique.

So here's your first card... (excuse the yellowed effect -- the card base is white)

The next card shows the typical "iris" effect.  I may take last-minute creative license with colors and shape on this card -- it all depends on the amount of designer paper I have that coordinates.

As mentioned in the newsletter, you'll need your small scoreboards and bone folders for these cards.  We will be using predominantly glue, but dimensional tape and regular tape will follow.  No inks are needed so you can travel light for this class.

I have one opening left, so call, text, email me for that last slot.

I look forward to seeing you all!
