We should have a fold off

stuckie27 · Post by **stuckie27** » December 29th, 2003, 7:51 am

I suggest the members of this forum all try to create a simple piece of origami like a penguin, or a bird, somthing that can easily be realised.

It would be a contest, we could all share design notes and ideas and each come up with a seperate design.

I could exibit the final designs and the thoughts everybody has on my website.

What do you guys think? This would be a perfect time for all of the folders out there that fold strickly from diagrams to bud out and try somthing different.

What sould the object be?

I think its a great idea. Maybe something that is not usually seen in origami...

I like the idea, although I think that creativity can't be forced. I mean if somebody wasn't able to create something until now, he probably won't be able to do it for that reason.

until now I've only created three models, a bill-heart, an icarus and a cd-case. so what have you created?

greetings

Christian

Since it is new years eve, in the tradition of the chinese zodiac, I suggest we try for a monkey.(Even though it isn't chinese new year)

Excellent idea!

I'll have a go at creating a monkey, I can't promise anything good!

I accept the challenge.
Here it is!
A "monk key" *dies laughing*

It's only there temporarily, though.
Another interesting idea, not quite as good as the monkey-
What about folding the New Year Baby?

how did you think of that one?

Post by **TheRealChris** » January 2nd, 2004, 7:28 am

tonight, I've created a "spiked heart". it was influenced by my last two girlfriends... somehow like "why don't you just stick needles into my heart, to give me a quick death?!"
here's the picture:

any coments?

ps: "monk-key" *lol* very good

you used foil to create the model?

Post by **TheRealChris** » January 3rd, 2004, 1:29 am

I have folded this heart from foiled tissue-paper, but created it from "normal" paper.

Both of those are very creative and interesting, and nice color choices too

. Well I have made my first try at a monkey design as seen below (or if not showing, on my site under gallery, Monkey v.2.0)

So, what do you think?

Great first try. The facial features are very good. I certainly see the possibility of a see no evil... model.
You could probably make some sort of off-center blintzed bird base to lengthen the tail and the head, althoug the head looks great now.

Thanks

,it is made from an alternating blintzed frog and bird base.The tail is actually as long as the legs, but I used it as a support for the photo.
