Here’s a little sumthin, sumthin from our colourful workshop in Manila. Slowly but surely we are mastering the folds and flicks of fan making with our first of five different frame designs. Slowly being the operative word here, they are not yet refined but the magic between the vintage fabrics and aged wood is exciting. The newest in a long series of challenges is finding the right edging to seal the fabrics and put the finishing touches on the designs. As simple as this may sound the difficulty truly does lay in the fact they just won’t flick open and shut if the material used is too thick, for example ribbons, lace (which looks naf anyways) or even embroidery. Welcome to the trials and tribulations of fan making 101.
Enjoy the peek and let us know any thoughts.
Til next time, Peace peeps.xx
