Re: Monthly Folding Challenge: October 2011
Pretty obvious as to what base I used, but for those who are wondering it's a waterbomb base.

Close ups of my snails...
Not excessively complex, not excessively clean folded.

Waterbomb dragonfly.
Tail is the centre point, the four wings are the corner. Make four crimps to generate eight target points near the centre - these become the six legs and antennae. The rest of the model is simple narrowing - a lot easier than it looks. The model is formed from a water-bomb base, with no need to unfold the basic form at any point!

I once set up an origami PLC. But the business folded.

Very cleanly folded ! What size of paper did you use ? (looks like foil sandwich, is that right ?)

I like this design of rooster: simply with an lify attitude & proportion. Bravo!

The dragonfly, Gachepapier's folded face, and the rooster are all amazing. I will be hard pressed to compete with these entries.
Eat. Sleep. Fold Paper.

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge: October 2011
Hi! This is my first post ...and the first time I've tried making origami without a pattern to go by! But I thought I would give it a go (although it pales in comparison to what others post on here... I feel vastly inferior to say the least). I used the waterbomb base, hopefully I didn't break any rules! It's a fox, supposedly.
*Also, I hope the photo was uploaded correctly, I couldn't figure it out exactly.
edit: Never mind, I figured it out!

You only should try to compete against yourself - that is usually hard enough

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge: October 2011
So, heh, this is my first post in 5 years, and my second ever. But now that I have a new camera and a challenge I think I have a half-decent shot at winning... Well, here goes.
I folded a pair of goldfish designs, both from frog bases. In both cases, I sunk the center point and used the resulting layers in different ways. The first one is a generic mishmash of goldfishy traits. With the second, I was trying for a (very stylized) rendition of the Black Moor breed of goldfish.

And if I'm breaking some rules with the sink or with the little bit of unwrapping in the Black Moor... well, then it's from a square base.
