ODT #2 Round 3 - Topsu vs. Argonaut

[topsu]

It's time for the 3rd round! Here are the subjects:

Show off culture - choose a subject that is special to your country.

sorrow/sadness - a model that expresses sadness.

frog base - anything that starts with a frog base

One uncut/unglued rectangle of paper per subject, but if one subject clearly includes several objects it is okay to use several papers.

Good luck!

[Argonaut]

I choose show off culture. Good luck!

ps- I will be submitting american culture since I am an american. Also, entries will be due the 23rd.

[topsu]

Nice choice. It's America vs. Finland then

[Argonaut]

I'm interested to learn about Finland- I think this will be an educational round.

By any chance would you be interested to enter the models you created here in my culture origami challange
Just asking.

[topsu]

Sure thing chesscuber

[Argonaut]

Certainly

[chesscuber98]

Thanks

[topsu]

I'm going to post my entry this evening.

EDIT: Nope, I didn't quite finish it. The photos will be up tomorrow (I very much hope so at least)

[Argonaut]

My two entries I hope adequately express at least part of American culture, which is a hard thing to pin down considering America is often considered the melting pot of cultures.

The first will be an eagle, the animal most often used to represent the US. It appears on many coins, dollars, seals, and other form of government paraphernalia. It stands to represent liberty, justice, and courage.



My other entry is a fat man, since the US has the highest obesity rate of any country in the world. In fact, one in three adults are obese here. (not that I am)

[topsu]

Finally, my entry:

Saunavihta

saunavihta is a piece of sauna equipment that is made of several small birch branches tied together. You hit yourself (!) with this inside the sauna as a sort of a massage.

I am done with my entries so you can start the poll whenever you want

[topsu]

Go for it!

[Argonaut]

Because your post was the first on the thread, only you can make the poll. You need to edit your first post on this thread. From the edit menu there should be a "create poll" tab in the bottom left.

[topsu]

Oh. Right. I completely forgot I was the one who started the thread.
