Monthly Folding Challenge: November 2011

Post by Ray95 »

Topic : a mammal folded in newspaper

You can fold any mammal, including a man wearing clothes or not. The mammal must be entire.

Rules:
1. Use a entire page or cut a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a circle, etc. in the page.
2. No glue, no foil, no cut.
3. Do not use colored pages, avoid publicity, use mostly the parts with text.
4. Wet folding is allowed but only with water (think you are in a journey and you haven't MC in your luggage).
5. You may submit as many entries as you want, but only one entry per user may be chosen for judging.
6. Previous designs made prior to this month are not accepted. It should be a new design made in this month.
7. Gab, the winner of last month's contest, will be the judge for this contest.

Good luck to everyone!

To illustrate the subject, this is what brian chian folded for a company this month, mammals and newspaper :

Is sizing (MCing or PVAing the paper before folding) ok?

you should not treat the paper before folding.

Imagine you are in a train or in a plane, you have read the newspaper and you start to fold something.

What do you mean by "avoid publicity"?

i think we have to use text-covered pages without any pictures ...

Very interesting challenge. Am I allowed to paint the model after I finish folding it? I will post photos with the model before and after paining, to prove it is newspaper.

A little bit of advice for those who are going to enter this challenge: if you want a different colour, more natural and mammal looking, you can try the fianancial times.
