Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Foam Patternmaking advice?


I wrote an article for "Puppet Life" which is the news letter for the 
Los Angeles Guild of Puppetry on just this subject. In it I proposed 
one way to mathematically create a pattern for a sphere of any size, or 
number of pieces. I think it mostly just made people's heads hurt. I 
think it is a technique that is really only practical for large pieces 
that use a lot of foam, but if anyone is interested, I will forward 
them a copy. because of the drawings, I can't post it here.
