<Wanda> HI AMY
<Wanda> TY
<AmyB> Hi
<pmstamper> very kewl
<Wanda> THE STEP-BY-STEPS GO WITH THE FIRST PIC
<Wanda> #1
<Wanda> FOR THE INSIDE PAPER YOU WANT SOMETHING FAIRLY THIN SO YOU CAN DO ALL THE FOLDING
<Beezy> holy moly
<Wanda> I HAVE USED WHAT I'VE SEEN REFERED TO AS UNGLUED PAINTERS MASK PAPER
<Wanda> THE PACKAGE I GOT READS "UTILITY GRADE MASKING PAPER"
<Wanda> I GOT IT AT MENARDS
<Wanda> IT CAME WITH 2 ROLLS IN THE PACKAGE FOR JUST A FEW DOLLARS
<Wanda> IT'S 6 INCHES WIDE AND THE SAME COLOR AS BROWN PAPER BAGS
<Wanda> I CUT A PIECE 13 1/2" LONG
<Wanda> AND LEFT THE WIDTH AT 6"
<Wanda> OH, BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER
<Wanda> IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY FOLDING WHILE IN CLASS GRAB A PIECE OF COPY PAPER AND TEAR OR CUT IT IN HALF THE LONG WAY SO IT IS ABOUT 4 1/4" X 11"
<Wanda> I CAN GIVE YA A COUPLE MINUTES TO GRAB THAT IF YOU'D LIKE
<Deanna> Ok i Have mine in front of me
<Wanda> GREAT
<Patywak> ready here
<MonkeyMom> got mine
<Regina> got it
<Wanda> I USED LUMIERE METALLIC GOLD TO COLOR THE PAPER
<Wanda> I JUST RUBBED IT ON WITH A SPONGE, REALLY RUBBING IT OUT SO IT WAS THIN
<Wanda> I DRIED VERY QUICKLY AND I PAINTED BOTH SIDES
<Wanda> ALL THE IMAGES I USED IN THIS PURSE ARE ON THE PLATE "THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA"
<Wanda> I STAMPED THE FLORAL IMAGE USING STAZON BLAZING RED
<Beezy> beautiful
<Wanda> THE BLACK IS STAZON JET BLACK AND I POUNCED IT ON USING WADDED UP PLASTIC WRAP
<Wanda> YOU CAN STAMP ONE SIDE OR BOTH SIDES - I ONLY DID ONE SIDE
<Wanda> #2
<Wanda> ACCORDION FOLD YOUR PAPER INTO 6 SECTIONS
<Wanda> IF YOU HAVE A PAPER TO PRACTICE ON DO THIS NOW
<Beezy> whats measurement for first fold?
<Wanda> FIRST YOU WOULD WANT TO FOLD IT IN HALF
<Wanda> AND FOR A PAPER 11" LONG. . .
<Wanda> ONE SECTION WOULD BE 1 3/4"
<Patywak> question
<Wanda> WHAT
<Patywak> are we folding this lengthwise?
<Deanna> ,1well that is not as easy as you would think
<Wanda> FOLD IT IN HALF SO IT IS 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
<Jambalaya> deanna, please set color back to plain black
<deb> ok - then what
<Wanda> THEN FOLD EACH 1/2 INTO 3 SECTIONS
<deb> fold in half
<deb> ok
<MonkeyMom> MM seems to be a folding savant
<Deanna> ,1sorry?
<Wanda> YOU COULD MEASURE AND MAKE A SMALL MARK AT 1 3/4", FOLD THAT AND THEN FOLD WHAT'S LEFT OF THAT 1/2 IN HALF
<Deanna> ,1why are my words looking like that
<Wanda> HI CINDY
<Wanda> OR JUST ACCORDION FOLD IT SO IT'S SOMEWHAT CLOSE
<Flourish> Deanna make sure your foreground and background are both set to "no color"
<CindyC> hey wanda!
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<MonkeyMom> Deanna- check the foreground and background buttons at the bottom of your screen
<Wanda> SINCE YOUR PIECES ARE JUST PRACTICE THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE EXACT TO GET THE JIST OF THE FOLD
<CindyC> ty judy
<Judy> yw - I was folding paper
<Scout> Diana, don't know why, but it makes it easier for me to find my place when I look up from notetaking!
<Wanda> ARE WE READY TO MOVE ON?
<Scout> vbg
<deb> yes
<Wanda> HI CINNAMON
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Scout> yes
<MonkeyMom> y
<Deanna> Yes
<Wanda> #3
<Patywak> go
<Cinnamon> Hi y'all!
<Wanda> HAVE YOUR ACCORDION FOLDED PIECE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE FIRST MOUNTAIN FOLD TO THE RIGHT
<Regina> yes
<Wanda> THE OPEN END WOULD BE TO THE LEFT
<MonkeyMom> don't get it
<Patywak> the valley?
<Wanda> NO VALLEY SHOWING RIGHT NOW
<Deanna> k
<Wanda> IT'S FOLDED TOGETHER IN A STACK
<Patywak> ok still folded
<Scout> the first 1 3/4" section would be pointed down to the right, right?
<Patywak> ty
<MonkeyMom> (y)
<Wanda> WITH THE END OF THE PAPER ON YOUR LEFT AND THE FIRST FOLD ON YOUR RIGHT
<Wanda> YES, SCOUT
<Scout> ty
<Regina> which pix are we on?
<anno> you got your accordian sammich. the loose end is on the left. :)
<Wanda> FOLD DOWN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER SO IT'S ALMOST TO THE LEFT EDGE BUT NOT QUITE
<Wanda> SEE PIC
<Wanda> AND THEN ALSO FOLD UP THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER
<Patywak> almost to the mountintop?
<deb> ok
<MonkeyMom> (y)
<Wanda> YOU'RE FOLDING YOUR MOUNTAIN TOP

<Wanda> ARE YOU FOLLOWING, PATYWAK?
<Patywak> wait please

<Wanda> GOT IT, PATYWAK?
<Patywak> got it I think
<Patywak> ty for waiting
<Wanda> YW
<Wanda> #4
<Patywak> truly, I am dyslexic so I'm slow at this
<Wanda> THAT'S OK
* Patywak appreciates your patience
<Wanda> TURN THE SECTION YOU JUST FOLDED THE CORNERS ON TO THE LEFT
<Patywak> but I don't want to hold up the class
<Wanda> LIKE OPENING A BOOK
<Wanda> AND REPEAT FOLDING THE 2 CORNERS
<Wanda> ON THE NEXT SECTION
<Wanda> #5
<Wanda> TURN THAT SECTION AND REPEAT ON THE LAST SECTION
<deb> ok - all folded
<Beezy> im slow too :)
<Wanda> IT'S OK
<Scout> Wanda, when folded together, are they all even top and sides?
<Wanda> IDEALLY, YES, BUT THEY MIGHT BE OFF A LITTLE
<Scout> ty
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> HI MAREN
<Maren> hi all
<Wanda> DO WE ALL HAVE OUR CORNERS FOLDED
<Judy> y
<cak> foldin' paper ain't for wimps!
<Scout> Wasn't sure how close "close to the center" was!
<Patywak> what shape should the paper now be in?
<Patywak> square?
<Wanda> JUST CLOSE
<Beezy> i hope so
<Patywak> close to a square?
<Wanda> YOU DON'T WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY BECAUSE THEN IT WILL BIND WHEN YOU HAVE IT FOLDED UP
<Scout> aaaah!
<Patywak> right
<Wanda> NO, IT'S NOT SHAPED LIKE A SQUARE
<Patywak> oh phooey
<Beezy> uhoh...
<Patywak> go ahead I'll watch
<Wanda> IT WAS A RECTANGLE BEFORE WE FOLDED THE CORNERS :-)
<phyl> half a sextagon shape
<Wanda> YES
<Wanda> ISN'T THAT A HEXAGON??
<phyl> got me by the ____
<Patywak> I get so frustrated when something like this happens, but will enjoy watching the rest of you.
<phyl> donno
<Wanda> THE PICTURES WILL STAY THERE, PATYWAK, SO YOU CAN LOOK ANYTIME
<Wanda> NOW I WANT YOU TO OPEN THE PAPER BACK UP COMPLETELY, SO IT'S NOT FOLDED AT ALL
<Maren> what step are you on?
<Wanda> JUST STARTING #6
<Beezy> joining Patty in the frustrated section:)
<Wanda> YOU WILL NOTICE WHERE YOU HAD THE CORNERS FOLDED IT'S SHAPED LIKE A TRIANGLE WITH A SEAM IN THE MIDDLE
<Deanna> Ok mine are folded just like yours but backwards lol
<Wanda> AND ONE SIDE IS A MOUNTAIN FOLD AND THE OTHER IS A VALLEY FOLD
<Deanna> ok flipped it over never mind
<Wanda> MAKE THEM BOTH MOUNTAIN FOLDS
<Wanda> SO THAT THE TRIANGLE WILL FOLD TO THE BACK
<Wanda> FOLD INTO THE BACK
<Wanda> EVERYONE GOT THAT
<Patywak> scuse me...is this being logged?
<Wanda> JAM, IS THIS BEING LOGGED?
<Jambalaya> yes
<Patywak> how can I get the log?

<Wanda> TY, CINDY
<verb-afk> hope i remember this
<pmstamper> I have to say learning how to make something like the end result pictured-- looks like it will be well worth the effort.
<CindyC> yw
<Wanda> THIS CAN BE A LITTLE HARD TO EXPLAIN :-)
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639

<Wanda> I SCORED IT INTO SECTIONS THAT MEASURE 2 3/8", 1/2", 2 3/8", 1/2", AND 2 3/8"
<Wanda> #15
<Wanda> I USED RED MULBERRY PAPER TO COVER MY CARDBOARD AND BECAUSE THE BASE COLOR EFFECTS THE MULBERRY I PAINTED MY CARDBOARD WITH WHITE GESSO BEFORE GLUING ON THE MULBERRY
<Wanda> I GLUED ON THE FRONT AND THEN ON THE INSIDE MARKED WHERE I WANTED HOLES TO SEW ON THE FRINGE
<Wanda> SEWED ON THE FRINGE AND THEN COVERED THE INSIDE WITH THE MULBERRY PAPER
<Wanda> OOPS, LOOKS LIKE I HAVE 2 #16 PICS, DIDN'T NOTICE THAT BEFORE
<Wanda> YOU CAN STAMP OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TO THE COVER, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, OR BOTH
<cak> That's alright, we know what you meant
<Wanda> THEN YOU ADHERE YOUR INSIDE FOLDED PIECE TO THE COVER - BE SURE YOUR FRINGE (IF YOU HAVE FRINGE) IS AT THE BOTTOM :-)
<Wanda> I USED DOUBLE SIDED TAPE TO ADHERE THE INSIDE BUT YOU COULD USE WHATEVER ADHESIVE YOU WANTED.
<Scout> Boy, somewhere after # 7, I got totally lost.
<Wanda> I'M SORRY SCOUT
<Scout> I'll work on it.

<Wanda> ALL THE INFO IS ON MY PICTRAIL
<Wanda> SO TERRI, DID IT MAKE SENSE :-)
<terribear> I think so.. I was not able to try it this evening but I think you did a great job.
<Wanda> I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD TAKE THAT LONG TO GET THROUGH THE FOLDING
<Wanda> BUT IT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART
<cak> definitely
<terribear> I agree folding always is.. That is what is the hardest about iris folding.
<Wanda> ONCE YOU HAVE IT, IT'S A BREEZE THOUGH
<terribear> I agree with that...
<Wanda> ARE YOU GOING TO CINDY'S CLASS?
<Wanda> IN CRAFTCLASS NOW
