That 32x32 attempt was thrown away a long time ago, it was not going to work out. I think I'll do an 18x18 soon, I've been folding stuff a lot lately.

I tried a sea urchin once, I forget by who. It was going to have over a hundred points, I think. Anyway, I folded it fine, but when I started to shape the points by wetting each one individually with mc, it started to fall apart. By that I mean it looked more like purple grass than a sea urchin; it became a spikey square.. :( So I gave up on it. I think from handeling it so much, the points started to undo themselves from the base up, so they were spreading apart.
But I think it may have been the first one I did. I can't remember if I did any smaller ones. Yes. I did, in fact, make a smaller one. 16 points I think...
