Are you sure, that the two of them aren´t the same but once in sleeping mode and once in attacking mode?

Looking in the at the URL, the sleeping one is called an Abra and the old thing with spoons is called an Alakazam...

Yeah, the one I posted is Abra, which evolves into Kadabra and then Alakazam (what Cupcake posted). Don't ask me how I remember all this stuff from like, the 4th grade :D ! Still, I think the model may not be a Pokemon but rather some sort of Japanese mythological creature. Any one have knowledge of Japanese mythology and could offer suggestions on what exactly this thing is?

I already suggested Alakazam in a previous post, but I just edited an older post because I didn't really care about that subject anymore. I'm almost positive that model was not a Pokemon, and if it is, it's hardly recognizable :? .

I would just call the model an imp. Done.

Yeah awesome flower! Very impressive...

Has anyone ever considered stickying this topic? It is really popular and seems like the place to post your models if you want them seen by everyone. Just a thought.

There's no need to sticky it. It's always near the top. And I don't know about other people, but I don't even notice the sticky threads. They just sit there at the top like a heading.

I like your models very much Anna, the elephant made me smile. :)

Speaking of Pokemon, I folded a Charmander, Charizard, Caterpie, Muk, and Victreebell last night. The Charmander and Charizard's diagrams were found on a cool Japanese site, and the Caterpie, Muk, and Victreebell were from a Japanese children's origami book (they were some of the few things with no cutting, though the Victreebell uses two sheets and needs to be glued :oops: ). Unfortunately, I can't take pictures because they're at a friend's house and she doesn't have a computer that works.

I finally found some methyl cellulose to experiment with.

First experiment, single ply 12 inch MC treated mulberry tissue, kawasaki rose:

Image

It was a bit thin and the last steps did not secure it very well.

Second effort, 2 back coated sheets 12 inch MC treated mulberry tissue, kawasaki rose:

Image

This felt better than the one ply attempt.

Finally, I back coated two sheets of mulberry tissue with MC to make a LaFosse's Ruby Throated Hummingbird:
