My calculations came from Jacquie Tinch's original message:From this time, at least, the size restrictions were maximum 100cm (or 40" -
so if you've got size problems, work in inches <VBG>) in any one direction but with a total of height + width + length not more than 190 cm (75").
I'm not sure about looking for pre-existing patterns and making a collage... I thought this is supposed to be an original project?
OK -- I misunderstood the size notation. The above limits would allow for eight panels of 8x8 or 8x10, hinged accordion style, and displayed with the two ends 40" apart. This would give 10" per double panel which is a wide enough angle to display. For packing, it would fold up quite compactly. For overall size, 40 plus 10 plus 8 would be 58, well under the maximum size allowed. If displayed in a square, it would be 20" on a side for a measurement of 20 + 20 +8 or 48".
As to using an existing map pattern, I didn't intend to suggest it be done as printed, but used as a reference. After all, the shape of the continents hasn't changed and it would show what a panel might look like. To fit our size and space, it would have to be redrawn anyway, and our road sign added.
Seven panels would also work, with the first panel displayed parallel to the wall the other six panels zigzagging. It would fill the same space but conform to the Seven theme. (Panel 1 -- continents and sign. Panels 2-6 showing man etc-- six panels to show 8 people/sacks/cats. Panel 8 showing St Ives.)
Keep the ideas flowing. We shoudl be able to come up with something interesting.
Alice in Oregon -- projected damp until next Saturday, Rose Parade day.
