Dear Elizabeth Yip Dembart, and all Ori-l'ers I'm replying for Assia who's only recently returned from Russia, where she was visiting her family.

I wrote a code to generate crease pattern that can be cut from printer paper. For example (240cm, 4cm, 1cm) only takes 2 pieces of letter size paper. Please check it out! http://elyip.github.io/PrinterPaperCurlicue/index.html ==== Dear Elizabeth, Sorry for the late reply! I am AMAZED at your efforts to write this program for the printer paper crease patterns for the Curlicue. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm. This program will be certainly be very useful for those with only printer paper available. It's quick and convenient to obtain a tapering strip of variable dimensions, and it's certainly helpful that you can choose any colour you want. The section on your page about Curlicue mathematics ( http://elyip.github.io/PrinterPaperCurlicue/curlicueMath.html) seems very thorough too. However, I should say that I strongly believe that the best Curlicue results are achieved using one continuous strip. I really recommend that Curlicue folders do use the detailed instructions for preparing the strips described in the last chapter of my book. I'm very proud of my invention, and I know that you'll enjoy folding it AND of course playing with it. Please share your results with me and on Facebook. Here's more info about the Curlicue.
