Valentangles 2022 Popup Heart

This is the year I decided to participate more in some challenges and events as a contributor. The lovely Marguerite Samama, organizer of the yearly Valentangles, invited me to be a contributor to this year’s event. Marguerite creates a PDF (for sale here) with several prompts, starting on February 1 and ending on Valentine’s day. Ian also participate in her Valentangles FB group.

My prompt is a simple and easy to make popup heart card which you can see here:

Here's a version in red:

This design is also the topic of my class Popup Heart which you can find here.

Feel free to pin or share these pictures if you like.

I'm playing with several things lately: learning how to make popup cards, how to paint and shade using ink and watercolors, and how to use my new inkjet printer. Here I duplicated a balloon shape originally drawn with brown pen and inks, then printed out several pieces to collage on a V-fold pop-up card. The result is an explosion!!!

Be Well 2024 Final Pop-up

I participated in the 2024 Zentangle BeWell event. Instead of using triangular tiles, I created a white base pop-up card using almost exclusively triangular V-folds and added each tangle of the event every day. The main challenge of this project was to make something that would flatten out completely so that I can draw over it after the pop-up is constructed. Here’s the final piece!

I'm participating in the Zentangle BeWell2024 event. Instead of using triangular tiles, I created these white base pop-up cards using almost exclusively triangular V-folds, one tangle a day on each v-fold. I made two cards. The main challenge of this project was to make something that would flatten out completely so that I can draw over it after the pop-up is constructed. The videos of the cards can be seen on my blog.
