 We are finishing February's Fold-It Friday with one more heart-inspired paper fold! This heart letter fold is a beautiful way to send a message to a loved one or a friend. It's super easy to make! We fold it from a sheet of standard size 8 1/2" x 11" paper or a sheet of decorative paper cut to that size. You can write or print your message on the paper before folding, and the heart locks itself closed until the receiver opens it. SuppliesPlain or decorative paper cut to 8" x 11" (that's it!)

 Prepare to have some fun learning how to marble paper for this coming Monday's live class! We will explore traditional marbling, as well as Suminigashi, a Japanese style of marbling. Marbled papers are great to use in collages, papercrafts, greeting cards, origami, and bookbinding. You will need to gather some supplies, and some of them may come from the kitchen or the laundry room! Supplies
Live Class Monday, 2/22 at 11 am MSTBefore class, thicken some water with starch. We will be using methylcellulose to thicken the water, and will pour it into a glass baking dish so the paints will float on top. Watch the inspiring video below to learn a little about the process!  We continue to celebrate love for our February live Fold-it Friday events with an adorable heart-shaped message holder that serves as a chopstick or brush rest. To make these fun-loving paper messages, you will need a sheet of paper cut 3" x 6". Double-sided paper is preferable, but not necessary. You can always color your paper on one side with markers, inks, stamps, sprays, or paints. You will also need plain white paper, and a pen or rubber stamps to write your messages.

The Japanese art of dying fabric is known as Shibori. The process we will explore in class is a similar fold and die technique that can be used to make beautiful decorative papers. Shibori is traditionally done with fabric, and indigo dye, but wer're going to use rice or tissue paper, and colored inks or acrylics. Prepare to have some folding fun too! Supplies
