To prepare for June ATC session in Bishan Library, I did some research into the background of iris folding and shared with participants, all first time trying their hands on this paper craft technique. The chosen pattern was a bit tough to work in ATC size in the limited time, but several completed them.
Swapped 1 for Hiang's marker pen drawn Holiday ATC.
Chin Yean introduced pop art to our participants in the July ATC session, we sure had a colourful time!
I made more of my Gemican people (dolls composing of gems from brochures). Swapped 2 ATCs for Selina's iris folding tree with an inchie bird and Jessica's under the sea with a fish inchie.
I haven't show this delightful piece of work - Marion Bockelmann's (Germany) lovely postcard which I won in her Our World Our Art blog giveaway (Apr 2014). Marion did it with collage and sanding technique. My postcard collection is slowly growing!
Over at Paper Traders group, I participated in another interesting swap - Mother Nature Tag Flag Book. We swapped 8 tags and stored them in our own book. Here's the tags I did and the book I made containing all the tags returned.

The detail in these cards is so impressive - they are little works of art, all of them!
