Our member from Victoria, B.C., Mary Conley, has a wonderful new structure to share with us. She recently learned that the template for a 3D figure is called a "net" and this mechanism is called a "pull up net". The idea is to pull on a string and create a 3D sculpture from a 2 dimensional template. Participants in our July workshop will be sent five templates to cut out of cardstock and score before the workshop.

| Here is an example of one of the figures. |
To see examples of more of the structures, go to the NORBAG Flickr gallery under the March 2026 exchange books.
Materials:
- 10 cardstock circles - 1" diameter
- Five lengths of string, each 20" long. Mary uses #8 (medium) Perle cotton
- 1/16" hole punch (large enough for the string to pass through)
- Five Velcro dots and Five foamcore dots
- PVA and a small brush
- Scissors, knife, cutting mat and bone folder
- Have prepared an accordion book made out of heavy cardstock with six pages each measuring 5" by 7". Covers measure 5.25" by 7.25".
