Yuzen Birds
Life's Journeys Scrapbooking
Difficulty Rating: (Advanced)
Taught by Penny Tyson

New Workshop for Santa Clara show! The word "Yuzen" was borrowed, only several decades ago, from the kimono-making industry in Japan. It refers to a type of dying technique used to decorate fabric from traditional, Japanese silk garments. Papers are hand-silk screened with patterns taken from these exquisite textile designs. We will be crafting with red, peach and white blossom Yuzen paper and chipboard birds and shapes to create two beautiful wall hangings/mobiles. This is a very unique class and extremely detail oriented. We will also be creating some Origami "bead" butterflies. If you are really into paper arts and hand crafting, this is the class for you. Blossoms, paints, chalk and a variety of other embellishments will also be used to complete these wonderful projects. Skills Required: This is a very detail oriented class, with lots of fine cutting of patterns and tiny flowers - please be very familiar with the use of your crop-a-dile and a variety of adhesives. Please bring paper piercer, mini-glue dots, liquid adhesive (glossy accents works best), fine-tipped scissors, pencil (or a red pen works best), tape runner and your crop-a-dile.
