Hi there,

I have discovered Shadowfolds. Have you seen this?

I was hopeless at maths in school but that won’t stop me from showing an interest in this craft that combines origami and mathematics!! I’m probably not going to try it, but I certainly do like it x

What are Shadowfolds? Well they are fabulous designs in fabric! Designs can be taken from architecture and interior decorations of many cultures and periods, especially taken from tiles…Shadow folds are works of art created by folding cloth in patterns based on classic geometric designs. By blending traditional patterns with a contemporary style, Shadowfolds evoke timelessness while also creating a sense of exciting innovation.

The way the fabric folds allow for the cloth to interact with light and beautiful patterns of light and shadow start to appear. To do it, you transfer a geometric design, punch holes in the corners/points and start sewing together. (Bit more to it than that ha ha)

Just magical! I've included some pictures that show the 'shadows' when interacting with light and the possible applications for this craft.

I also am in love with Sibella Court’s new book ‘Nomad’ and Inside Out ’82 modern style ideas to create at home’

Speak soon!
