Of course it is your design. I prepared one instalation to magasine some time ago and use the same procedure to make windows in the bus. It is simple and straitforward, so everyone will use it. And then - who is the author?

If I had the talent I might try:
The wicked queen from Snow White
Ursula the Octopus from Little Mermaid.
Dominoes
Silhouettes
Athletics Hurdles
Skull & Crossbones flag
Ninjas
Saturn V Rocket
Phases of the moon sequence

etc...
Good luck to all.

Moon sequences are very good idea!! I like it.

I like the way you`re going, Insomniacfolder.

Swan, Magpie, White-necked Crow, Crane, Snow Goose, Bull, Arctic Fox, Polar Bear, Border Collie, Cow, Ghost, Alice Cooper...

The list is endless, but try and be creative!

That's a good one Quentin. There are loads of crane designs out there, but I haven't seen any that have colour change wings and feet, it would be great to see someone make one.

I'm working on a nun riding a zebra across a pedestrian crossing, while playing chess.

It should be ready in the next 10 years or so.

PS: Two tone insects allowed?

Yes, insects allowed, Fishy.
Can you try and incorporate an ostrich into that nun model also - that will be great!

Do not forget to spectacled bear! (But it is rather brown than black, isn't it?)

I will contribute with three models. Two of them is already finished, just photo that, and one I need to design. I have just idea, but I need to think out about realisation. I think, that this third one is really unexpectable!

More B&W things:

A Nun
A Piano
Tao Symbol - Yin/Yang
A Clock with black hands
Elias's The Last Waltz .... variations
Bride & Groom
Dalmatian
A white rabbit or dove in a magician's black hat
A car Tire with whitewalls OR a White Car with Black tires
Dominoes or Dice

To -_- about Black & Silver paper ... everyone else, don't read this

If you can't find B&W paper, use the B&Silver, but when you take photos, make sure that the silver is washed out so that it looks white.... but don't tell anyone that I said that

There are thousands of black and white things. Really, we don't have to name them all.

qtrollip wrote:(...) Alice Cooper...

LOL! An Alice Cooper origami would be something!

I'm thinking about some human figures, people using B&W clothes. But I don't know how to begin yet...

Ah, and I have designed a spectacled bear too, but it's not totally finished... I need to take a look at some details...

See ya soon!

haha, I always get Alice Cooper confused with Alice Walker.

I did this time too, until I googled to find a picture...

Seriously though, it's on page two and we've only got one submission. Stop giving us more ideas, we've got plenty already

If you want to participate, then fold something, don't tell us what we should do.

For black and white human figures bride and groom seem like are a fairly solid idea.

Following on from Alice Cooper, you could also do a sequence of portraits of all 4 members of Kiss.

On the topic of black & silver paper, you could also use black & grey and then just fiddle with the levels to make the grey look white.
You could even use any dark colour & white and then desaturate the photo to make the dark colour look like black, but that sounds a bit much like cheating.

Origami Ice Skate

Folded from one square of wrapping paper – Black on one side – white on the other;

The process of making this fold is nearly as beautiful as the results – In a while I will upload a composite to Flickr - showing some of the stages of the fold.

For the display - I used clear plexiglass on top of the blue paper to simulate ice.

Here are just a few of the steps used to make the skate -
