monthly folding challenge : JULY 2012

[gachepapier]

The subject is : liquids - water, beer, petrol, acid rain, you name it !

The model must show some sort of liquid, a colour change is welcome but not obligatory.
The model must be from a single uncut sheet, the original shape of the sheet must be convex.


This month's judge is snowblue.
As a further constraint to the judge : you must name your favourite three models and rank them.

the original shape of the sheet must be convex.

Convex paper? I always use paper that is flat, neither concave or convex.

[Alexorigami]

The shape must be convex, not the sheet. That means a convex polygon(all angles smaller than 180 degrees).

Ah, okay, now I get it.
I tend to stick to squares and regular hexagons for most of my work anyway, so it's all good.

[gachepapier]

Yes, of course, I'm referring to the shape of the sheet as it's flat. A disk or a drop, etc would also be allowable ...

[spiritofcat]

Are we allowed to enter more than once? I've got a few different ideas I'd like to explore for this theme.

Anyway, here we go, entry number one, Splash!
A splash as from an object being dropped into water.

Is the model supposed to be the liquid itself, or like its container (i.e. mug, can, etc)?

[Baltorigamist]

I think the model itself needs to represent something liquid.

This looks like an interesting challenge; I'll enter if I can think of anything.

The model must show some sort of liquid

Seriously...

My entry shall be this water elemental. I hope the rules allow it.

[TheUnChosenOne]

Wow! That's great! I like how you made the feet (I think that's what those columns are).

[spiritofcat]

My entry shall be this water elemental. I hope the rules allow it.

The rules say the model must be made from one sheet. You've got one sheet for the model, and a second for the scenery. I'd say that should still fit within the rules.


I've got another entry if that's allowable. It's a good theme and I've got a few different ideas for it.
This time I managed to get a colour change in there too.

This is a broken fire hydrant with water fountaining out of the top of it.
I didn't have any paper that was blue on one side and red on the other, so I used the nearest that I had, which was pink and blue, then digitally altered the hue of the photograph to give the result I wanted.
I hope that's allowable for the challenge. If not, I can upload the original pink and blue photos instead.
Folded from one square 15cm x 15cm pink on one side and blue on the other.

"liquid" is a really interesting topic. Well, here's mine:
Tea Time!

from one uncut 10in. square kami

I'm more impressed on how well I got the picture taken rather than the origami itself. lol

[loganorigami]

That's a very nice teacup!
