fall is in the air

the days are getting cooler and shorter. that means that my favorite holidays are on the way: Hallowe'en and Day of the Dead. i've been working on some ATCs for themed swaps for both of those holidays and started thinking about those tissue paper cut-out "flags" they hang for Day of the Dead in Mexico. i was inspired to make a bunch of folded paper cut-outs for the occasion. the problem is how to mount them on cardstock. they are only 2.5" X 3.5" and are very fragile so it's not easy but i'm still working on it. here are a couple of samples. i'll post some more later.
