Is anyone able, (and willing), to send me a copy of Masahiro Chatani's Taj
Mahal Pattern?
(I cannot get hold of the Pattern Sheets of OA book because it is out of
print).

PS If anyone does attempt to e-mail me at the address below but the e-mail
gets bounced, could they forward the 'bounce notification' to
M.A.Toomey@usa.net Thanks!

Hi Michael,
I am imagining that now you must have a dozen patterns of TajMahal sent
to you by now.  If not let me know and I will send you one.   Yuko

Tell me how this turns out.  If not clear, I'll try again.   Yuko

Dear Selena,
First, thank you for giving so much input into the OA list.
I'm still not very advanced in this field, but unlike many others I enjoy
not only cutting the cards but also designing my own patterns. Yet I'm by
far no competitor for the professionals in this field yet.
Today I have completed my work on a model of the Porkov-Church in Vladimir
(Russia), I don't know whether there is any pattern of it available in any
of the books (which are pretty hard + expensive to get here, anyway). It
looks pretty empty, though, since building itself is pretty simple (the
church was build in the 12th century) and its only decoration are ornaments
on the outside walls. That reminded me that on your homepage you wrote
about what you did to your Acropolis temple, would you like to disclose a
bit of this secret to me so I can imitate it? I would be very grateful to you.
Apart from that, I'd be interested in sharing the patterns I make with you
(and the other OA fans) in order to receive some constructive criticism for
improvement.
BTW, I intend to make a design of the Andreev church in Kiev as my next
project... is there a pattern of this building in any of the books available?
Thank you for your feedback,
Best regards,
Andreas

I bought a used book, Pattern Sheets Vol 2, from a
local bookstore and didn't notice until I got it home
that two of the patterns were missing!  :(  I 
immediately called the store and told them the problem
but unfortunately all sales are final.

Before fighting it out by stopping payment on my
credit card I thought I'd ask if anybdoy on the list
wants to buy it.  The two patterns that are missing
are of a bridge and steps, both 90 degree.  Not the
most interesting patterns in the book but I have a
collection of only "complete" books.

I paid 29.95 for the book and would like to get 14.00
out of it.  I can provide scans of the missing
patterns on request.  Book is in good condition, pages
are all very clean, and it does still have the dust
jacket.

Please contact me privately if interested.
