Fiona's folding begins

Well I've kind of, almost, just about, snuck in the door in time with my letters for the second alphabet.

I have been wanting to fold paper into letters, or maybe do 3-D pop-up letters. Or somehow combine them both. In the end I decided I didn't think I had it in me to actually conceptualise pop-up letters in a stylish rather than naive manner, so I have gone with folding paper.

I like the way the letter is kind of the negative space and that the patterned part is the absence, not the letter.

They have been fun, trying to work out what size paper will fold down to a 7cm letter, and think thru the folds.

Here is A, B, C & D, the happy foursome all together.

  2. Fiona, I LOVE these!
    I have also been going through a MAJOR folding paper phase (not for alphabet creating...) and I understand how puzzling the process can be...
    Your A B C D are super smart and striking!!!
