Class Details
Soar above the front range – figuratively speaking, that is – as you craft these colorful hot air balloons! In designing her newest class for Two Hands Paperie, paper and fiber artist Nanci Hill Feeney drew upon her background as a quilter and stained glass artist. The paper balloons serve as a delightful way to learn how to mix and match patterns and colors. Nanci shares her ideas and gives you some guidelines. There’s something satisfying, she says, about taking small pieces of paper and then joining them together to create a larger design.
Choose from three base patterns for the balloons. Focus on one or make all of them. Nanci supplies dozens of patterned paper options, lots of stencils, some embellishments, and ribbons for hanging. Customize your balloons by adding words and wishes, which can be tailored to birthdays, holidays, seasons, or any special event. Use your decorated balloons singly, or string them into a fanciful display with little accent flags. Such fun!

Two little known facts about Nanci – her rescue dog Poppy curls up under her workspace whenever she creates! Nanci was a World Champion in the Sweet Adelines International Competition. The organization, founded in 1945, is a worldwide nonprofit music education program for women that’s focused on barbershop harmonies. All we can say is Wow!
