Centimeters or inches?

Not sure how good you are with CPs, but it would be nice to see someone fold my mantis shrimp model :D

I've done it with 15" (38cm) paper, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Granted, it might be a little difficult for coming out of a slump, but I happen to be precreasing one right now. I'll make photodiagrams, and I can send them to you if you want.
After the fall, we rise.

@ GWB With the Black and white, you fold the wizard for the CP challenge for this month. The brown would be nice for a deer, gazelle or bear. For the silver, I'm thinking something fantasy, unicorn, pegasus.

Black ElephantHide 70x100cm

Would Joisel's cat work?

(I have a few sheets so other suggestions welcome).

However I am not fond of tessellations.

Thanks!

Gabriel, it depends how complex you are willing to fold. Try folding the easier models in WOSK (Pegasus, Kirin)
Easysid With Washi you can fold simple models so the nice texture of the paper can be seen in the finished model. Maybe fold the rabbit by Gen Hagiwara(tutorial on youtube made by Anna.)

I only have WOSK2, and I'm willing to go supercomplex, depending on what it is.
