Monthly Folding Challenge - February 2011

gachepapier · Post by **gachepapier** » January 31st, 2011, 10:28 am

The topic for this month's challenge will be : Food

As far as I am concerned, there are few models that jump to mind immediately that fall under this topic, but the few that do I really like.

Two of my favourites are :

- a dish of spaghetti being forked up by, well, a fork;
- Sunburst's cup of blood; (or wine

)

I've been looking on and off to find the first model's picture, but have not been very successful, I'll edit this post as soon as I find it or if somebody remembers it before I do. Sunburst's model is from last November and should be easy to spot in his gallery.

Basically, you can make anything that can be found on your table and is meant to be eaten. A few restrictions are as follows :

- no livestock; animals or parts thereof should be closer to ready-for-consumption than to alive-and-kicking;
- one sheet, no cuts, square or rectangle (but with a maximum aspect ratio of 2:1);
- glue is fine if it allows you to model a sheet in a particular way which would otherwise not be practically achievable (think "fugu" by Sipho Mabona, for which the topology of the sheet is a cylinder).

Make it look delicious !

Would it be accepted if i were to do something like a Lion eating a dead Deer?
Other than that, it's a nice topic.

Yes, as cjbnc put it, I was thinking of your table

- but I won't be the judge. If you can convince the next judge, all power to you ! Moreover, I'd imagine this to be a rather complex subject you propose...

Best of luck !

C'mon guys - this isn't that hard, the subject's been a challenge 3-4 years ago and there was some really good folding there as well, so where are all the new folders ?

PS : nobody's found those spaggheti ?

I'm sure I didn't dream them up... help !

I'm designing a roast pork holding an apple in it's mouth. This design should take a while

Aaahhh! I've already plowed through 2 designs with very little likeness.

It's hard to design such model when all you have is a piece of paper, a compass, pencil, and a human brain(not computer intelligence, such as Lang).

I like the pizza, Josh!
Though, I prefer cheese over pepperoni.
