I generally use a scalpel to cut and use the back side of it to
score. Since the blade is so thin, the back side is almost as sharp
as an XActo knife and effectively cuts halfway through the stock.

Greetings,
I don't think it is a good idea to post scans to a mailing list in
general. Some of our subscribers have slow connections and large
attachments may cause them problems. If you want to mail the scans to
me directly (Andrew@Evermore.com,) I would be happy to put them on the
webserver in their own directory somewhere and we could post the links
on the list. Would that work okay?
For reference, I would be happy to do that for anyone who has
patterns, pictures, or other documents they want to share and doesn't
have a place to put them.
Andrew

Dear all,
I have a suggestion. Why not set up an e-group or ecircles and post up the
scans instead. This way, they can view the scans before downloading. Both
are available free over the internet at groups.yahoo.com or www.ecircles.com
Members can also post up pictures of their OA pieces for the rest to see
without having to set up a webpage.
I use ecircles extensively and I find it useful for discussions and stuff
and if it's a public circle, anyone who's interested can join in. If you
want to, I can help set it up for you.

Hello Aleric and all,
I already have a site set up called Pop-upGreeting Cards On Yahooegroups.com
so if any one wants to join and share there works of art let me know And I
will send an Invite......It is a closed site so you need to have an
invitation. Just started it so its kind of slow right now. Marivi is on it
just in case she has any fans out there and I am one of her biggest!!
Cheers,
Nancy

Hi,
Thanks for the comments about sending scans. Being new to the list I wasn't
exactly sure how things were done in regards to seeing other people's work.
I think it's inspiring to see what others have done, especially when you are
just starting out. When I see these beautiful creations, the more I want to
do OA. In the meantime, my tulip in `````````````````````

Thank you for the suggestion.
At the risk of sounding like a raging privacy nut ...
Both organizations, eCircles and Yahoo/eGroups collect personal
information about the people who sign up. They track what content
those people view, including what advertisements. They track what you
look at and for how long. They track where you log in from when you
visit their sites. You can't even use eCircles if you don't have your
browser set to accept cookies (a mechanism for tracking you across
multiple visits.) They use that information for "targeted marketing."
Read their privacy policies carefully. There's a lot of "sunshine" in
there but, they make it clear that the purpose of those services is to
get information from you so they can sell you things more efficiently.
I'm sure that some people will find me paranoid for saying this but, I
do Internet and web development work professionally. I have a
background in social science and understand statistical behavior
modeling. I know what the potential is for abuse of that information.
So, I am disinclined to use those services.
Most people I know who have professional-level knowledge of computers
and the Internet feel the same way and won't use those services.
In order to share an image or other document, all I have to do is copy
it to a public directory on a webserver. I don't have to code a page
or link it in anywhere or anything difficult, just copy a file. For
me, it's way less work than posting to either of those group systems.
Considering the volume of requests for that sort of thing on the list,
I'm happy to do that for anyone here so that they can avoid having to
share their hobby with a bunch of marketing people. If we need
something to support a higher volume, that stuff is easy to build.
Of course, you all are welcome to do as you please. This is just my
opinion.
Andrew

Hi all,
Thanks for answering about the scans. As a new member I wasn't sure how you
went about showing your work. I think it is inspiring to see other people's
work, especially for those newbies. From the time I got my first book, it
took a loooong time to do my first one. Seeing other people's work of art
inspires me to do more! In the meantime, you can see my lastest card that I
made which can be seen in my Picture Trail album, in the album titled
Origamic Architecture. It is the tulip in a globe from the book, Best
Pop-Up Greeting cards by Keiko Nakazawa. If there is someplace that anyone
has their projects on, I'd love to see them. Have a great week-end.

Hi Val,
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us! I agree, it's nice seeing
other people's work and I'm delighted to see more and more OA pages on
the 'Net these days. Your work is beautiful Val and I really like the
way you've added other embellishments to your cards. Thanks again for
sharing.
If you or anyone is interested, I've recently updated my page with
works from Chatani's newest pattern book. He collaborated with
Takaaki Kihara on a book entitled Origamic Architecture Goes World
Famous Buildings and there are some exceptional designs in it. Here's
my page: http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/HobbyCt/gstormer/ Enjoy!

I received an inquiry from someone wanting to know in what books
particular (Chatani) patterns appeared. I was able to place all of
them except one: the Rialto Bridge. Does anyone know what book has
that pattern?
