This week I learned how to do Iris folding from my friend, Suz. It was really fun. The hardest part was cutting out the shape of the Kimono. Using a mat knife is not one of my many talents. The folds are all put on from the back and it is such a neat surprise to turn it over. I always thought Iris folding like the flower but no, my friend, Suz explained, Iris folding like the iris of a camera lens or the eye. Have a happy day!
Wow Jan. You used some beautiful papers on this. Very Nice. Linda E.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful....can't believe it's your first one...Great job.
ReplyDeleteI wondered where the term iris folding came from! Very nice work, Jan! And of course, I'm loving it even more because it's a kimono! :)
