One square, no cuts.

May the best designer win!

[gab]

I think I'll go with flowers. Are we going with one sheet, or are modulars allowed?

[Baltorigamist]

I said one square, no cuts. So no modulars.

[gab]

Sorry, I guess I missed that. Sounds good. Good luck!

[gab]

My first entry. I wanted to make something with a realistic number of petals rather than the multiples of four that models often end up having. It's still folded from a square; the extra paper folded in to make the starting pentagon becomes a locking mechanism for the petals.

Here's a Ghost Orchid I designed the other day. One uncut square, mix of 30- and 22.5deg.

I've always wanted to do one, and this provided the perfect opportunity to do so.

Second entry, an orchid [updated with better picture]

That's all from me, I think, so start the poll whenever you're ready.

My Lily, my newest design.

Baltorigamist, another forum user pointed out that my first flower design is basically the same as this one.

I assure you that I had not seen that model before it was brought to my attention, and this is just a case of convergent independent design. However, if you think this is unfair, I am entirely willing to withdraw that submission and restart the poll with my orchid as my only entry. Just let me know what you think.

[Baltorigamist]

It's really up to you. I say you can keep it as long as you hadn't seen that before, but you can make the final decision.

[gab]

I'll keep it, then, for convenience's sake. The deadline for starting the poll is the 26th, so if you change your mind before then, there's still a reasonable window for a re-poll. Thanks for understanding.

[Baltorigamist]

No problem. The way I see it, you shouldn't be penalized for something beyond your control.
