Eric Joisel's paper sizes

Post by Cupcake »

I was wondering if anyone knew what size paper this is supposed to be out of. I've been looking at it, and I can't figure it out. Can someone possibly help me out? A bigger picture would be nice. Take a look

I took a ruler and measured 3,5 : 9
Yes, I agree, bigger pictures would be nice, but what do you want you british voyeur?

I measured and got about 1:2.666... (1:2 2/3)

Also, for the Mermaid (I'm too lazy to make a new topic) I got 1:1.666 (1:1 2/3)

So in other words, wouldn't I just have to make 2:1 and 3:1 rectangles, and cut off one third of a square of the end of each?
