An infinite number of original designs may bemade by folding into eighths, then cutting free-handdesigns of various shapes. In the following exercises the type forms presentedare to be traced from tablets, then cut and mounted. Form and Color 59 This is for form study and must not be confused withfree-hand cutting.
