Uno degli ultimi acquisti dell'anno scorso (fino ad ora inutilizzato) è stata una fustella Sizzix Bigz che taglia, appunto, i pezzi del tangram, anche su materiali spessi.
L'ho acquistata pensando al lavoro di geometria con i bambini a scuola, ma quando Milka ha indetto il I Love Math Challenge#4 nella mia testa si è accesa una lampadina :D e ho pensato che questa fustella era perfetta. :D
Ho preparato due lavori. Il primo è questo, il secondo ve lo mostro nel prossimo post :)
Per il tangram ho incollato tre avanzi di carta patterned (non ricordo il brand, l'unica cosa certa è che quella azzurra era in allegato a una rivista craft) su altrettanti pezzi di cartone molto rigido e alto che ho recuperato dalle scatole di cibo per gatti.
Poi ho passato il "cartone patterned" nella Big Shot con la fustella Sizzix Bigz Tangram.
In questo modo ho ottenuto 21 pezzi, sette per ogni carta patterned. Ho mischiato i pattern, ho preso i 7 pezzi del tangram (due triangoli grandi, un triangolo medio, due triangoli piccoli, un quadrato e un parallelogramma), ho sfumato tutti i bordi con il DI Vintage Photo e ho composto la figura del cigno.
La girandola decorativa di juta l'ho avuta in regalo da Pia l'anno scorso (grazie mille!) e l'ho colorata di giallo con un marker. La sottile asta della girandola è uno scarto del cartoncino kraft che ho usato per la base.
Credo che questo lavoro diventerà la copertina di un block-notes o un quadretto. :)

I absolutely love this Alice. It really is so clever and looks so beautiful. Barbxx
I haven't seen anything like this in the cardmaking worl before, how original! It reminds me of origami. I can clearly see the shape of the swan resting on a wave of sea. And lookie, there's the clever use of the pinwheel too! Looking forward to see your second one as well.
This is fabulous, such a wonderful design - I look forward to seeing the second one.

So this is the one that started it all! If only I had the good sense to visit you chronologically. LOL. I dont think I've seem tangram in cardmaking. You're a trendsetter my friend!

Wow, Alice, your swan is beautiful! So unusual and so creative! It was interesting to read about the Tangram and it sounds like you have very happy memories playing this game with your grandmother! I like your creativitity - it's nice to see something different - it's very intriguing! I also like the pinwheel from Pia. I have seen a few pinwheels around and I plan to eventually make one - this is the first time I've seen it in jute and I like it! Beautiful card, my friend! I will stop here and come back to check out your other cards later! I don't want to miss anything and I also don't want to rush! Sending hugs your way, dear friend.
Sono andata a ritroso. Mi piacciono tutte e tre le card. Sono quadretti di arte moderna.
A great card - thanks for joining us at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge.
