I printed patterns using white and gold ink on Electric Red and Nightshift Blue French paper. These papers were 70# text weight from the Construction Paper Line of French paper.
Folding and cutting pentagons using the Nightshift Blue French paper.
Folding the pentagon into the star. The side which doesn’t show on the star is on the inside when folding the paper.
I added a bit of drawing using metallic markers. This drawn detail added some whimsy to the pressure printed designs.
I enjoy the challenge of making Origami forms. Consequently, I decided to create a holiday ornament using pressure printed sheets of French paper folded into the five pointed origami star. Not only was this loads of fun; the completed ornaments are wonderful.
I then cut the pressure prints into squares. The squares were folded and cut into pentagons before folding the five pointed star.
Folding red pentagons.
Completed stars; with metallic thread added for hanging.
This red paper was printed with white ink and the drawing was done with a silver pen.
