[nabs-l] diagramming and APH paper

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi,
Someone I know used to also use a sewing wheel to make diagrams, but you 
have to use that backwards also. I think the sewing wheels are pretty 
inexpensive. I think she also had one of the APH kits too, and it was good 
because there were tools to make very small triangles, arrows, circles, and 
other things, and it also had several rectangular plates, one with lines, 
one with rough dots to make shading, and different types. I'm not exactly 
sure which kit she had, but it was useful for mathematics and 
science-related subjects that required a lot of diagrams. I think it even 
had a wooden holder to hold all of the tools together.
Also, I've seen the quick-dry paper a few times. It is kind of 
rough-feeling, and the lines are raised, but not as much as something like 
puff paint would be. As far as I remember, it dries pretty quickly.

Thanks,

Misty
