Wow! You are an amazing designer. The shrimp looks like you used cuts to make the antennae, did you?
I have no problem if you did, I'm just wondering.

The shrimp is made with a half square triangle, but the actual fold itself doesn't use cuts.

You're folding and designing skills seem very good to me, well done. The only thing I'd say is put a plain background that contrasts with the model (a curved piece of paper works well) behind the model when you take pictures. Wooden backgrounds can alter the focus of the camera. Other than that, keep up the awesome work!

If you refer to the model I think you refer to, it's not an apple it's a clam, but I liked it even beter at first sight when I thought it was a half bitten apple.

I had a piece of paper for photographing purposes, but folded it into a crab for someone. Plus I wanted to show them off as they're displayed on my headboard.

I thought he was referring to another artist's work with the apple logo. Looking at the picture I can see the possible confusion.

You should really think of modifying your model to make it into a bitten apple, it would be very original.

I don't plan on adapting the model, but I had an idea for an apple core design after you mentioned it. Thank you! I've been looking for a new idea to fold.
