It’s so wonderful to be starting a new year of Iron Craft and see all the Iron Crafters new and old jumping into the challenge. For this first challenge we asked everyone to create something using paper, a challenge that could lead in as many directions as there are crafters!
I started the year off with a project I’ve been contemplating for awhile, a paper cut map of Amsterdam.
Let’s see what the other Iron Crafters did with this most basic of supplies…

Wow. This is a wonderful set of projects. I especially like the Elizabethan ruff with the coffee filters. So very cool!
so many great projects! I love seeing Iron Craft back in full swing!
That ruff is amazing. The model is so perfect.
