Inspire Me Thursday: "Fold"

The challenge theme for Thursday February 5, 2009 over at Inspire Me Thursday is "Fold". These bookmarks are also for a swap over at Swap-bot. They are made from scrapbooking paper backed with gold tissue paper by gluing it on with matte medium. Then I pressed the paper in a big old dictionary I use for collage. I used a free template over at book artist/calligrapher Cheryl Moote's site for the cutting and folding. The tips of the triangles are glued down with more matte medium. The idea is similar to one found in Paper Folding Fun by Robert Harbin published in 1961 by Branford. It's probably out of print.
