- SB Paper, Geli Print & Sarcasm
Created: January 16, 2023 A friend introduced me to this Carousel structure... What fun. I started making it with the geli print paper in the size on the directions... but I thought that was a bit large and I wanted something smaller... so did the calculations (see bottom of page) and created one 2"h instead of 3" (approx 6" dia) So I made the scrap book paper one (with ugly paper...) to see if it would work. YES!! So then I wanted to do one with calligraphy and created the sarcasm one also with the 2" dimensions.

This is the scrapbook paper from
a pad. By flipping the the sections you get 4 different
views. |

This is the Geli Print paper done on Columbia Mills LBS End paper and it's using the 3" high as per the instructions. |
I'm really happy with my sarcasm Carousel... I used Michael's cardstock. I'm also still using my Pressure Release monoline style writing. Words: I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing, retraced my steps, got lost on the way back. Now I have no idea what's going on. Some people call me crazy. I prefer Happy with a twist. I really don't mind getting old, but my body is having a major fit. Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot morons. |

The original was created with a 3" x 10" piece of paper scored at 3", 6" and 3 3/4" leaving a 1/4" for gluing the triangle closed. To calculate my dimensions I drew a straight line 3 3/4" (base line). Found the center point and drew a perpendicular line up then from one of baseline end points moved my ruler (or compass) to hit the perpendicular line at the 3" point of the ruler. I drew a parallel line from the 3" line with a 2" dimension. Then measured where it hit the baseline which for my 2" figure was 2.4". To calculate the length of paper add your side dimensions (3" + 3" + 3-3/4" + the gluing section 1/4") You can create a larger structure just by elongating the 3" lines and drawing a new baseline parallel to the original. Follow the instructions that were given. Remember the height of your paper will be the same as your 2 side lengths to create a square when folded closed. |
