            Teabag Folding

by Laurette van der Merwe

      of Colour Creations

                    30 May 2009

The origins of many arts and crafts are lost in folklore, but almost certainly, most were born as productive pastimes that did not just keep willing hands busy, but also produced items used for both everyday life and pure decoration.

Laurette van der Merwe epitomises the spirit of these arts and crafts, having learned and practised many of them. Consequently, within her prolific output one will find many sorts of crafty things, each made according to the essence of these craft forms. And one knows that each item contains more than a healthy investment of both passion and time.

She numbers amongst the craft skills she exercises or teaches routinely, crocheting, knitting, sewing, embroidery, scrapbooking, photography, poetry, calligraphy, quilling, marbling, dry embossing, punch art, pin pricking, copper embossing, parchment craft, iris folding and teabag folding.

Teabag folding?

Indeed, teabag folding. And for those who want to discover more about this unusual and highly decorative pastime, Laurette will be demonstrating the how-to's at Stall 166 at the next Country Craft Market on 25 April.
