'Pure and simple' - rules for April 2007

Using either one or two squares of paper, fold a pureland pet. Pureland folding uses only mountain and valley folds There are no reverse folds, no crimping, no box-pleating, etc. You may use glue to attach the two pieces together, but not in any other way. No cutting. You may decorate the models afterwards with simple features, eg, eyes. It may be your own design, or someone elses - please credit the designer. A 'pet' may be any household domestic animal, ie, a dog or a cat. But not a cow or an elephant...

Here is an essay about pureland folding.

Finally, another submission!
Only 3 days left in this challenge!

Here's my submission, a two square kitten (no glue):

Nice kitten

Millennium Falcon


Sheep? Sheepdog?


You can't tell, but the back looks identical. (i.e. two more legs, another set of the four flaps in the front, etc.)

Yes, these are entirely pureland. They utilize some interesting adaptations of the pureland rules. You can get some swivels, sinkish things, etc.

Some old thing:

Congratulations to everyone who entered. All of the entries are great, and everyone who submitted should be proud of their work. There were some splendid entries!!:)
