Look what I learned at work today.
I had to send out some large drawings, and I asked someone if they could show me how to properly fold one.
There is a proper way.
He pulled out his old technical textbook, with this diagram in it! It clearly shows the folds one should make depending on your drawing size.
I don't know what it is, but I think I was enamoured by the technical drawing. I like technical drawings, but I don't like them when I cannot figure them out. Thank goodness that this one was easy to read. Now I know how to fold a drawing.
Hey, did you know that it is October already! Happy October everyone!
i enjoy technical drawing as well, including architectural ones, even old school dress patterns have nice lines. these are ripe for a letterpress plate, don't you think!?
ReplyDeletei was just told to fold full scale drawings like a map. haha totally not the proper way!
ReplyDeletewhoa! that's cool!!
ReplyDeletethat letterpress idea snap+tumble said would be amazing!
happy october to you too! see u tomorrow! yay!
i love that technical drawing. i never would have thought there was a proper way to fold a full scale drawing. but, of course there is! i'll have to find something large to fold down to try it out...
ReplyDeletewoahhhhh. What!!! I didn't know that there was an actual way to do this!
ReplyDeleteit looks very interesting, had no idea there was a proper way to fold a drawing.
ReplyDeletehappy october celine, hope your patchwork will be finished before snow is coming:-)
I feel like I'm seeing technical origami! I never knew there was a proper way to fold a drawing. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteTanya! This would look so cool letterpressed!
ReplyDeleteMay! I think this is the same way to fold a map! But, I still don't know how to fold a map!
Roz! happy october to you too!
Karyn! Do try this! And let me know how it turns out!
E! haha! I don't think many people need to know this, unless you are a cartographer, an engineer, or an architect! But, now you know!
Renilde! I only have 3 more rows to hand stitch, and then, the binding!
Alexandria! you are totally right! It looks like an origami instruction!
