Well, since a pineapple has already been done (and since my pineapple didn't turn out too well

), I decided on a radish. I don't like radishes, personally, but they look cool. For those of you who are into that kind of thing, enjoy:

Jonnycakes: wet folding, backcoating and methyl cellulose are all allowed.

I've finally gotten around to folding the broccoli

I was actually surprised how long it took me to fold the CP. I remember the first time it took a while, but I guess that I just forgot how it went.

This is Kenny Baclawski's Millipede, posted on the forum. Look in the background...

Hmm...I've still gotta come up with something...

Ooh wow, thats some great looking broccoli. Mine... didn't end up too realistic.

Looks like cauliflower to me...but trivialities aside, it looks like he used the edge of the paper and made it frilly for the texture. Perhaps open-sinking a bunch of standard 22.5 degree flaps and flaring them out some would get the effect you're looking for?

Nope, it's broccoli. And also, those are all individual points from the interior of the paper. And Kenny's one of those guys who likes box-pleating.

I also think that it looks more like cauliflower. Broccoli is longer and thinner and green. Sure it's only a part of cauliflower missing the outer leaves, but the same would be true for broccoli.

I just got back from Maui. The temperature was 77. When we arrived in Chicago, the temperature was 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

I really needed this hot Chocolate!

Folded from one square sheet brown with a white back. No cuts or Glue!

Nice idea and design.

oh cool, I see you've found my broccoli/cauliflower
I've been folding a few things recently which were attempts at vegetables like that:
"Cauliflower"

"Broccoli Floret"

"Artichoke"

yep.
