Monthly Folding Challenge: October 2013

Post by yellerdude »

This month's challenge: the microscopic world

I've always found many aspects of the microscopic world quite strange and surreal. From atoms to bacteria, your challenge this month is to attempt to capture this strangeness of this world we can't usually see.

Rules:
-Your model must be designed and folded this month
-Use an uncut square sheet of paper. You can use as many sheets as you need. MC acceptable.
-Unlike last month, life-size not necessary.
-Have fun!

Entries will be judged by juston.

Is it allowed to use varying sizes and shapes of paper, when using multiple sheets?

Sadly those are just tiny, not microscopic.

It counts and it wins. Baltorigamist judges this month's challenge and decides the topic of next month's challenge.
The world's worst photographer now has a flickr account... enjoy!

Is it me or has there been a significant drop in entries recently? Granted, there's the Olympiad, but still.

Both olympiad and I guess there is just a lack of activity on the forums.
Anyways. Congratulations Baltorigamist! Waterbears are just so darn cute.
