I am in experiment phase this weekend with the Tyvek paper/material that I have been folding with.
COLOR! I discovered
( rather by accident) that paint
DOES, in fact, stick to the material. I thin it out with water ( acrylic paint) and brush it on liberally. And then I brush it off with a towel.
The results are this really interesting swirling pattern on one side and a solid soft color on the other ( treated side) My first attempt was with a frog. A new design that is a little challenging in that the folding patters are not exactly mapped out. I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt.
And the color adds that something extra that I may have been looking for. At least it takes a picture better than the plain white.
Cheryl still likes the
"artistic modern look" of the pure white paper. But there are a lot of colors out there that need to be explored. On a different level, I folded a dollar bill fish. I'm getting pretty good at this one now. It is, perhaps, one of my favorite dollar bill designs. They are great for tip jars.
