Valentangles 2022 Popup Heart

This is the year I decided to participate more in some challenges and events as a contributor. The lovely Marguerite Samama, organizer of the yearly Valentangles, invited me to be a contributor to this year’s event. Marguerite creates a PDF (for sale here) with several prompts, starting on February 1 and ending on Valentine’s day. Ian also participate in her Valentangles FB group.

My prompt is a simple and easy to make popup heart card which you can see here:

Here's a version in red:

This design is also the topic of my class Popup Heart which you can find here.

One more Flower Pop-up card. I guess it was the recent Mother's day that prompted me to create so many flower cards. I'm not quite done with them yet. I created a mockup of the card first to see if the mechanism would work the way I wanted. The decoration is a mix of Mooka, Diva Dance and Tipple.

Another super weird pop-up! Here I used a twisting mechanism, which rotates 90 degrees as the card opens and closes. On top of that I added a number of add-ons and the result is pretty crazy! Tangles are Twing, Crescent Moon, Printemps (all Zentangle) and also Fescurus Verae (Veronica Vazquez Orozco) and some other things that don't have names.

I’ve been away on a family reunion, during which I barely had any time to draw. Here is one piece, though, that I managed to make during this time. The challenge was to create an asymmetric pop-up composition using mostly V-folds. Not sure it’s my favorite composition for pop-ups, but it was fun to see how it came along in a very unusual way.

A SECOND little sampler booklet of popup mechanisms, this time exploring Angle folds (V-folds). I especially like the double V-folds that point at each other and make the extensions (arms) rotate wildly.
