I've got and idea for a model, but I haven't tried it yet

I'm the judge, so I make the rules

April's rules will not necessarily be the same.

I can't think of too many skull models out there. I recall a Herman Van Goubergen half-skull model that turned into a full skull when you placed it on a mirror, but not too many others.

I will give far more credit to people who design their own models.

Grizzy - I can't think of a single model that hasn't been adapted from another model (including all of my designs). If you think you can turn a mask into a skull, go for it!

And I like all sorts of origami, from simple to complex. So don't worry if you are not Kamiya Satoshi, it it is original, and I like it, you'll win.

The entries so far are all great, with some novel solutions to the puzzle.

Yes, but you should make the rule that the winner of this months challenge be the judge for next months challenge. That way people don't win over and over, and you don't always have to be the judge

He said winner get to choose the next challenge, not the winner gets to be judge...

Whatever the rules are, I agree with Wolf that there could be separate winners for creation and execution so that everyone can enjoy and participate (are eligible) for the challenges.

You have the rest of the week to submit a photo, so get going!

The winner will get to judge next month's competition, and will have the right to declare himself/herself/itself the supreme folder of the entire universe for the next 30 days. The top three will all be invited to suggest subjects/rules for future competitions.

I already have a subject and rules for next month, which I will post in the next couple of days. The next one will be an easier task to enter.

One of the rules will be that anyone who posts a 'that is great' post in the submissions thread will be shot at dawn. THIS is the discussion thread

dr stephen,a very good article on pureland!

Are pinch folds (soft mountain and valley folds) allowed to shape the final model?

Cupcake · Post by **Cupcake** » March 30th, 2007, 1:40 am

I certainlt hope so, because thats how I made the eyes of my skull

Post by **origami_8** » March 30th, 2007, 11:17 am

Sorry, I should have been more clear on this, I meant the rules for next monthÂ´s subject, the pureland model.

Fishgoth · Post by **Fishgoth** » March 31st, 2007, 12:59 pm

Not strictly pureland, but can technically be made with just mountain and valley folds, so I'll allow it.

The following model uses such folds in the beard, and is a two-square pureland model.

So next month is pureland, eh? Wow, I'm going to have trouble with that (I've never liked pureland...)
