Flaps can add surprise and intrigue to a pop-up spread. An image may be hidden underneath which is revealed as the tab is pulled - they can also be used to raise three dimensional structures.
When "I meet you" for the first time on youtube I see a serious man that was technically explaining something geometrical... but video by video I can see also that you where "happy-inside"... and in this video "surprise" and then your smile... that's the confirmation that you are a serious-happy man ... like pop-up books: creativity and paper engineering! Thank you again for your tutorial I love your channel and your book ... in english I can't write it better... I'm sorry
Thank you for your delightful message. You're right - I'm quite serious and happy too, I'm lucky. I think I need to try and get a bit more laughter into the videos!
Me parece increíble lo que se puede hacer con sólo papel! Me encanta como lo explica, paso a paso. Y es de agradecer también que responda a todos en el mismo idioma que le escriben. Muchas gracias!
I found this to be the most difficult tutorial to follow. How long is the strip with 4 scores? Why no mention of the parallel slits cut in the example? Sorry to be negative (and it's a cool mechanism!) but after two tries I couldn't replicate the example.
Apologies for being unclear! Each section of the little strip is 1 cm wide. The two parallel cuts aren't strictly important - they just allow the mechanism to move a little more freely. The measuring of the whole thing is a bit difficult - the key sections to watch are at 2.40 - 3.00 : 4.00 - 4.40 ; 4.50 - 5.20. Hopefully your third attempt will be entirely satisfactory!
The crease across the base divides it into two sections 10 cm and 15 cm. - You can see this at 1.21. The blue piece is 5 cm by 5 cm. The small yellow strip is made of five sections each 1 cm wide. If you watch the video carefully I hope it will all be clear to you.
Надеюсь, это простительно, что я выложила у себя на канале небольшой аналог этого МК на русском языке вот тут ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xlsYZKEQa0g.html Просто не все мои русскоговорящие друзья смогли понять этот МК по видео.
