Well it took several years for aspiring scribes to learn how to do it, so for the sake of time we'll just cover the basics. Hieroglyphic writing is phonetic... That means symbols stand for certain sounds (unlike the English alphabet where some letters have many sounds or can be silent). Let's start out with an example, the word freight. Four different sounds are used to say "freight," so four symbols-- no more, no less-- are needed to write it the Egyptian way. Our spelling is more complicated than it needs to be. Height: the E,G, and second H are silent maybe: A and E are long, the Y is silent hey: the EY sounds like a long A Christmas: the CH sounds like K, the T is pretty much silent, and the A sounds more like a short I rogue: the U and E are silent saxophone: the X is really a KS sound, the PH is an F sound, and the E is silent.

How to Fold an Origami Paper Booklet Video. Fabric Origami Workshop. Upgraded Origami. Published on October 3rd, 2011.
Origami, that awesome paper folding technique we all know about or have seen, has been a popular art form within Japan for many centuries and popularized elsewhere during the mid 1900s (Wikipedia). It is said to help calm the soul, build patience, and really good practice for building things. As the premise is to build 3D forms that are sturdy, look great, and hide all unsightly connecting joints, it is no surprise then the next leap from origami is something like…paper sculpture. I’d like to introduce a Japanese American artist I recently found who creates intricate paper sculptures that look like something carved from marble.

This type of paper folding is called Golden Venture Folding or Chinese Paper Folding. Note that there are 2 slits which are called "pockets". Units are connected by inserting the pointy parts into the pockets. There are 2 ways to position the triangular units. Position A: the triangle rests on the short edges of the triangle with the pockets still visible.
Position B: triangle rests on the broad edge of the triangle: similar to a mountain; pockets are also visible. Row 1: begin by arranging 30 - 35 triangular units in a row. Row 2: connect Row 1 into a ring by using "connector" triangular units. Repeat until all Row 1 units have been assembled. Row 3: continue assembling the body of the 3D origami swan by adding more triangular units. Rows 4 to 6: Continue adding more triangular units until you have completed Rows 4, 5, and 6.

Macrame. Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^ By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment).
I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon). Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions. Above: Mischevious hands – the unseen backdrop in all my photo’s ^_^
