Description This is a fan that I made to fulfill the kinesthetic requirement for a project that I'm doing with Kevin about Tokugawa Japan.
It's technically functional, but looks horrible folded up.
Watercolor, taboard, sharpie, colored pencil, ribbon, and popsicle sticks [=. Sorry for the blurriness, I scanned it lullz.
I'm pretty happy with how she turned out [=

This is very good! How did you get the base out of the sticks, though?

I poked holes in them with a sewing pin and then joined them with string, then ribbon.

this really good. I have a final in art comming up. And i need help making a fan like this. How to you get the creases to make it fold up? I am having the worst time figuring it out. Any advice would rock!!! Wish me luck

you don't put a stick on every crease, just every other crease (only every inward crease OR every outward crease).
Good luck, post it in your gallery once you're done! <3

I must say....that hand looks funky. But if it's the same as the reference then oh well.

Show it to me in person sometime.

blame it on the japanese.
I totally "referenced" a pic, and she had the same facial expression.
SO THERE.
And the crappy hand was crappy in the reference pic too xP
