I know, the photo isn't that good *g*
I tried for half an hour taking a good one...these flying models never hang still enough for taking a sharp picture from the right angle.

Wow, everyone did a great job with the color-changes

. There seems to be a wider variety of models than usual as well. The color-change theme is definitely a great idea. Well anyway, here's my submission.

I know the color-changes aren't THAT spectacular, but I prefered submitting this model instead of nothing at all.

Heres a redo of the first thing I ever designed: a baby dragon. It has toes!
Made out of 25cm double tissue

If you guys are interested, I might diagram this for the christmas book

rdrutel: Did you use only one square? The "fingers" of the frog are orange and there are two tones of green... Is that painted??

Anyway, amazing design! The frog from bottom looks cute... i love frogs...

Actually it is just one square sheet of tissue foil. The tones are probably just shades due to bad lighting. The paper was red/green. No cutting or painting =). It is not terribly difficult and I may draw diagrams sometime in the future. Thanks for the compliments!

Hey, I didn't know that was an allowed color-change... I could've folded a flapping bird and taken a picture of it under all the Christmas Lights !

Maybe called it a Peacock....

My entry for this contest almost at the last minute. An update of an old model of mine, a Yo-yo

Does it work?

(probably would need some very heavy paper...)
