I haven’t crafted in almost two months, because of bad health, so I needed a simple craft.
Google ‘notan’ (a Japanese technique) and you’ll find lots of examples (I didn’t use any examples, I rather make my own designs before seeing those of others).
Usually you use a black square piece of paper and cut out motives on all four sides, then turn them over and glue all of the black pieces on a white background.
Since I decided to make greeting cards, I adapted the technique and used black rectangles and only cut out motives on one side.
Love your cards! Making notans is a lot of fun. You did great matching matching everything up, when I’ve done them in the past I always make the mistake of too many small pieces which are difficult to line up. Your cards are very striking.
Love the stars. These are very neatly and dramatically done. Glad you found something you could have fun creating. Hope you feel like crafting even more soon.
