Iris folding is not just for paper! These cats were done in polymer clay by Anat Keidar in Isreal. Her friend, Yael, also from Israel has kindly translated information about how they were made. The process is not as easy as cutting paper - first she makes the layers(in a terribly complicated process called " millefiori" , a thousand flowers, in Italian), then she cuts them and eventually - puts them down according to the pattern. If you look in the Raggedy Ann gallery here you will find another iris folding project worked in polymer clay by Anat Keidar.
