Origami Christmas trees & origami stars…an understated antidote to all the Christmas bling.
The cards can be made from anything suitable to fold…maps, music, newspapers, books, etc. etc.
I will be working on some more Christmas designs in the coming week or so, some origami and some printed ideas. Will put them on the blog soon.
Naming this design, ‘Passion Flower’…it has a slight resemblance to them!

Handmade cards for MIY Workshop in Brighton.
These handmade cards were commissioned by Wendy Ward for her central Brighton sewing class & sewing machine hire venue. She gave me an old Simplicity sewing pattern, no. 7883, to make the cards with – very appropriate! Especially pleased with the sweet little origami dresses and how well the ‘Passion flowers’ turned out.
Take a look at her website for all the workshops she runs miyworkshop.co.uk
