Though I have to admit that the duck only has little ducklike resemblance, it will make a good waterbottle

I like the duck, it just doesn't work well with foil.

Anna, that is absolutely astounding.

Nice 3d tesselation, FlareglooM.
Once again, superb carousel, Anna, I liked the color changes of the mother and son.
Artur, nice Minotaur, I didn't know Kamiya's had color changes.
Nice pig, Cephalopod, superb use of color changes

Anna, that may be the greatest thing I've seen made out of paper ever! That is incredible ingenuity, and I would love to see it someday an a museum. Fantastic!

I made a birthday present for my sister with help from Mr. Maekawa and Mr. Yoshizawa:

Nice! Penselen, That's a beautiful scene. Will you be posting it for the Monthly Challenge?

Thanks legionzilla, I appreciate that. I don't have enough of my own stuff with a variety to make a scene! That might take me a year not 5 weeks!
Here's another one I just finished:

Can anyone tell me how to add a bear's body?

Wow. I am in awe of your patience. I couldn't stand to even fold the basic 30-unit dodecahedron!

Well done, though, especially with the 3-edge colouration. It took me a little while to get it right when I did the dodecahedron. Kudos!

Pretty.
I love your designs, Firstfold. So ingenius, yet so simple in structure, and always perfectly functional.

penselen, you could use grafting to get the head onto the body. Anyway, is that a spectacled bear or a black bear?
fiori, 555 units? WOW!
firstfold, nice flower pop up card, like it. Why don't you try making it from one sheet of paper?
