2. One or few squares or rectangles are allowed (no more than 5 five pieces per model)
3. No cuts or glue

Beth will be the judge for this challenge.

Have fun and good luck!

I know who wins: Jason ku! jk but if you havent seen this months tanteidan mag, then you wont know what i mean: http://www.origami.gr.jp/Magazine/Index ... -e.html#06

Of course, it already has been designed.....so I guess it wouldnt qualify anyway.

does a palanquin count, too, for this challenge?

Yes, any mean of transport modern or ancient.

What is the max entries for this challenge? I have two ideas that I would like to post, but don't know if I can post both.

Usually if not stated otherwise you can submit as many models as you want.

I have a solution to our wheel problem.

1) box pleat a point.
2)spread the pleats at the tip, to create a small square.
3)flatten pleats behind square to the center of the square(from behind)
4) fold 4 diagonals behind on that square to make an octagon.
5) repeat step 4, until satisfaction.

Enjoy!

One of the oldest means of transport. : )

Folded from a 6 inch square of white origami paper.

How do you post a picture from your camera? I'm trying to show off my entries.

Hahaha, Jared, you stole my fire I was thinking the same thing! Of course you did it better than I probably could.

Thanks Anna, I'll soon have my pictures in!
