ID: Diagonal Fold - Ampersand Paper

Created: December 3, 2022
Modified: December 6, 2022

Our Scribbled Lives challenge #48 is wrapping paper... I was honored to be on the cover of our latest Guild journal so photo copied it in color and B&W. I had wanted to put the colored bow onto the B&W print booklet but found it too busy, so created several... ROFL

The booklet instructions is #23 in "Art Of The Fold" book by Heidi Kyle

I'm using Columbia Mills LBS End Paper, which folds nicely, has a good weight and is sturdy. I created 2 geli prints using a yellow gouache, a red and dk blue acrylic paint. I liked the print but it was too dark for what I had in mind so pulled a 2nd generation print - YES!!

I adhered a misc bow from my stash.
