Monthly Folding Challenge - March 2008
well, I better get this started.
the challenge this month: something microscopic
(I hope this hasn't been done before...)
anyway, with luck there are some imaginative possibilities
some examples which are not in this competition would be my water bear:

and my flea:

Isn't microscopic very small?
Note: do we get bonus points if we fold the models in life-size?![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
An additional inspiration:
Hideo Komatsu's Water Flea is an amazing model, even including the interior of the creature.

As seen in a microscope
You might include some larger objects "as seen in a microscope" and get some rather interesting entries.
People who do tessilations might have a filed day
Just a suggestion to get more entries

Well...I guess I'll start things off...
![Image](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u148/loiseaudefeu1945/Origami/alh84001.jpg)
The most controversial microscopic object ever. The mysterious chain formations inside the meteorite ALH84001.
For the record...there are in fact two pieces of paper shown in this image, the "nano-bacteria" and the purely aesthetic rock surroundings. I might try to come up with something that uses only one piece of paper.
The actual "fossil" is about 2.5" long and about .5". It came from an 8.5" x 8.5" square, divided into 32nds. This model is almost 100% pureland, utilizing only alternating mountain and valley folds to achieve the segmented look, the only unique folds came from the rolling process, and the rounding off of the ends.
