Iris folding minis

 

Still working on getting a smaller iris folding pattern that swirls using only three colors. Four is the standard. I really do have to find a printer to make the pattern since I can't do a pattern free hand. Working with a pentagon shape makes the best swirl pattern but it's not a popular shape in the paper crafting world. I'm sure I don't have one in my stash (yes, I looked this time) and I refuse to buy a set of dies. Being able to cut out the shapes to make the template would be easier for sure. If I was better working with my computer, I could in theory cut and paste, but again I need a printer. 

I did try using washi paper instead of foil paper. It's a little bulky because it's so small. I only used one print just to see if it would work. Foil paper has limited colors and I don't want it looking too Christmasy. I'm going to have to pull out my stash of rolled paper and see what I have before hunting down different color foil.
