That is ordinary paper, the red lines are made with MS Word overlapping sereral
squares. Than printed on a colour laser printer, cut out and fixed by
paper-glue (that will go off without any rests on the bricks!). You just
started off using "digial-stickers" - why not!!??

Oh, i haven't worked out the history about Matt*** so fare. Ther are many
different but similar versions of Matthes used as family name: Mathes, Matthes,
Mattes, Matthis, ... Than there is the bible name "Matthaeus" which is Matthew.
But taht is a first name, like "Matthias". And there is a local specific about
the Matthias in the region i live at the moment. People here use "Matthes" as
nickname for persons called "Matthias". That caused some trouble when someone
asked my name and I said "Matthes" - No, not your first name, your family name,
please. - That is my family name, is said. Oh it's confusing.
All the best,
HoMa (that my "name" at the german 1000steine.de/forum - very easy: just use
the first to letters from Holger and Matthes: HoMa!!)
