I hope we get at least one other submission before the contest is over. Only three days left!

Alas , Noah, you were right!
Swan, inspired by Razzmatazz's one.

I've had some fun with this theme too with a couple of little narwhals. Obviously this is not an entry in the contest since I will be judging, but I thought I would show them anyway:

I had a go at doing a cp to see for myself where the angles went, although it still needs some fixing that I haven't had time to do. There is some mess in the bottom corner that isn't quite right (although it should be asymmetrical). This is why I usually stick to diagrams.

I will try not to keep everyone waiting too long come August 1st. However, I will warn that there are a lot of really good things in here to admire, so it might take me quite a bit of admiring over some cups of coffee that morning before I can post a result.

There are 15º folds to form the Telson.

That's great, I like it better than mine, will there be diagrams or a cp?

Thanks. Actually, this would be very easy to diagram. I might make a photodiagram. The cp is pretty simple too..

finally got the time to get a picture of mine :B

I didn't exactly start it as something for the challenge, but it fits the requirements so I figured I'd submit it anyway

That's awesome, Bluepaper! You played it close to the deadline, though!

Hey Bluepaper, that's nice. And guess what? It's made from blue paper!!!!!!!!!

BluePaper · Post by **BluePaper** » July 29th, 2010, 9:50 pm

why does that matter? I had finished folding it maybe 4 or so days ago, I just wasn't able to get any pictures of it until today ( my last few days were rather busy)

(edit: directed at Noah :B forgot to mention)

I'm not sure if this is allowed, please tell me if it isn't.
My swan, the neck is made of a series of 5 degree angles approx. 3 of those = 15 degrees. Is that allowed?

Here's my swan unfolded:

Here is my swan folded:

Please tell me if this can count as an entry.

In the rules, juston stated that you could use divisions of 15 degrees. Therefore, your swan does count as an entry.
