Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Bit of a Kinetics moment!

I had forgotten how much like playing with Kinetics.... ie movement on cards/ATC's. I have always been fascinated by pop up books ever since I was a small child. I have made several 'Double Sliders' one of which is here on my blog (scroll down a bit) bit fiddly but much easier than it looks.As I had a timely reminder that I had put my name down for a 'kinetics swap' I thought I had better have a play today. Here is the result!i have added the template so if you would like a play please do!Cut 'window' out along three sides and score where indicated. The small bit at the bottom is attached to a piece of card which is pulled out. Fold the ATC card in half and fold the flaps round and adhere to the back.Decorate how you wish, I suggest you do this before you stick it all together!!Top Tip... make a rough prototype first so you can see how the mechanics work and where you can decorate
