ODT5 Round 1: Edg vs. tschobigami

[Edg]

Subject:
Planes, trains and automobiles... whatever it takes to get you home.
Ancient Greece... a rich seam of history and mythology.
Food... from a bucket of fried chicken to an Ortolan drowned in Armagnac, it's all good! (well maybe not for the poor Ortolan)

Rules:
Any convex polygon/polygons
No cuts

Please feel free to change the rules as you see fit, I'm happy to go with the flow

[tschobigami]

Wow, some interesting topics! but i will have to choose food, as i love eating rules seem good for me, especially because food might require some odd shapes, this will be interesting.
Good luck to you and have fun!

[Edg]

A fine choice, I also love eating Best of luck!

Here is my entry, Butterflied Prawn/Shrimp, served here as sushi ( I must admit, I've never tried sushi/sashimi but it looks amazing!)

The prawn is folded from a 20cm square of biotope paper, painted on one side with acrylics. I added a coat of varnish after folding, for a mouth watering appearance, but used the wrong varnish...no gloss finish
The "rice" is from a scrap of washi (not to be considered as part of the design). My original plan was to fold the prawn and rice from the same sheet, with a more elaborate colour change on the prawn, but an elegant solution has so far eluded me. It seems unlikely that I'll get it before the deadline, so this must suffice!

[Edg]

Here's the crease pattern, such as it is

[tschobigami]

looking interesting i still like your paper! handpainted paper always is my favorite
i got my idea and a testfold, i hope to get it up tonight or maybe tomorrow morning, i hope this is ok with you.

[Edg]

No worries! I'm looking forward to seeing your design

[tschobigami]

So again sorry for the long delay, but i finally did it. If you are ok with it, you could post the poll now.
So here's my design:
some of the finest milk chocolate filled with a golden cream of crunchy hazelnuts. (for design reference: http://www.rittersportolympia.de/wp-con ... colate.jpg)

Wow, that's looks both excellent and tasty! The poll is up.

[tschobigami]

Thank you! good luck

[Edg]

Congratulations tschobigami, I knew I was in trouble the moment I saw your entry
This was a lot of fun, I learned a lot trying to figure my design out. Best of luck in the next round!

[tschobigami]

Thanks a lot! Your design was also great, a lot cleaner than my one. It was a very close vote, you could see that all the time - and a lot of fun for me too. Thank you!

[roodborst]

I couldn't choose between either model and forgot to vote before the deadline. This is an real tie. Glad you are both going to be in the next round.

[OrigamiGeek]
