Monthly Folding Challenge: April 2015

[Edg]

I've been distracted from my work today by a mother blackbird flitting around and pecking for worms in some newly cleared ground. I was struck by the way its form changed as it moved from perching to flying and it made me think of a sheet of paper changing form and taking flight, so I choose birds for April's theme.

Theme: Birds

Rules: one square, no cuts


Get a gold star if you can make your creation fly

Let's hope for some good entries this month. I can't wait to judge, and I already have a topic picked for May. : D

Superb Bird of Paradise doing it's mating dance! Better fold with better paper to come soon.

Now that was a weird Gif. The model makes sense now. Actually pretty good.

Tried my luck on designing, I'm actually quite satisfied as I never designed a model before

Maybe my tissuefoil wasn't the best choice...I always get lots of wrinkles in my completed model.


btw, it's supposed to be a crow

I folded Bernie Peyton's Kiwi based on the CP he displayed at the Surface to Structure exhibition. It is folded from 12 inch Tant.

Nice model, Fold, but you need to design your own model for these challenges.

Only two days left--let's get some more entries!

Here are my entries for this month. A great horned owl and a barn owl, both from the waterbomb base.

[Baltorigamist]

This was a really hard challenge to judge for me, maybe because I'm not used to judging challenges. But anyway, here goes nothing:

3rd: Juston. Both are great models in their inherent simplicity. : )
2nd: Origamiaddict95. I liked the use of circle packing, and the shaping is really nice. ^^
1st: Sebl. You really captured the essence of a bird, and I like how you have it sitting on a branch.

Sebl will judge this month's challenge and choose the topic for June.

and congratulation to the other
