Abstract:
A template for guiding a writing implement on a transfer sheet having a border region, said template comprising:a plurality of outer edges;a first set of similar shape-defining edges disposed between said outer edges of said template;a first set of marker holes associated with said first set of shape-defining edges positioned so that when said template is placed on said transfer sheet, said first set of marker holes and said first set of shape-defining edges are marked by said writing implement and create a first set of marker spots and a first set of shape-defined markings;a second set similar of shape-defining edges disposed between said outer edges of said template, said first set of similar shape defining edges being different from said second set of similar shape defining edges; anda second set of marker holes associated with said second set of similar shape-defining edges positioned so that when said second set of marker holes are aligned on said first set of marker spots said second set of similar shape-defining edges are marked by said writing implement creating a second set of similar shape defined markings thus creating a layered, multi-shaped pattern on said transfer sheet such that when said first set of similar shape defining edges disposed between said outer edges of said template are marked by said writing implement and when said second set of similar shape defining edges disposed between said outer edges of said template are also marked by said writing implement, the resulting first and second shape defined markings form a continuous interconnected border of alternating first and second shape defining edges across said border region of said transfer sheet.
