And you don't need anymore bulk at the point.
I usually use vellum (11"x17"), so I would join two pieces with a few dabs of glue stick (non permanent).
The extra length will ensure that the rays are the correct width and stay on a straight line.
I don't think the issue will be the wider end - it will be the tapered point.
You want to keep that as stabilized and as accurate as possible so you'll be able to easily join the sections.
The freezer paper method is another possible option.
But the process of paper removal - as long it's vellum and not copy paper - never bothers me as much as it does others.
If I understand correctly, the pattern doesn't call for PP, but you just think it would be a better way of dealing with it?
From what I'm visualizing, I agree and would probably take the same route.
Do you have a picture (or are you keeping it under wraps
)?
