Technique Tuesday!
I’ll bet you remember doing paper weavings when you were a child. My memories of this craft involves blunt-nosed scissors that you couldn’t possibly get a clean cut with, and trying to keep those cuts as straight as possible. Not the most artistic results! Now that I’m a big girl, and I get to use an exacto knife, my shapes and weavings are a bit more interesting. Although my slicings and weavings are nowhere near as intricate as Georgia Russell’s, I’m still much happier with them than the laminated woven paper placemats that I used to make!
I haven’t thought about weaving paper strips in I don’t know how long! Too long ago, so I need to jot this down to remember to experiment with this technique so I can play with it when I am with my granddaughters! Thanks. It’s such a treat to visit your sites.
Thank you Timaree! I used to LOVE to do this when I was a kid…and I still do. It’s almost magical what results you sometimes get
