Anatomy of a pop up

[Denise Woodward]

As many of my friends know, I love pop ups.  Here is a short post about my process.

I start by creating a mock up with plain white card stock.  Sometimes I scribble some color on it in pencil in order to help me visualize the final piece.

Next, I take careful measurements and make notes.

Then I cut the pieces of the pop up out with the paper I use in the final pop up.  Cut, glue, assemble, and send in the mail to one of my mail art friends!

Very cool, from concept to execution

You are the wizard of pop-ups...
