a man is a mammal

Humans are animals.
The fact that we don't like that classification doesn't mean we are not.
But I don't know if the creator of the challenge would consider humans as animals for this.

From the challenge description:

You can fold any mammal, including a man wearing clothes or not. The mammal must be entire.

So, it's kosher by me.

In that diagram you use multiple cuts. Doesn't that violate rule #2?

[gab]

The only cut I see is the one that cuts it into a strip. Rule 1: "Use a entire page or cut a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a circle, etc. in the page." So, it's good.

Yes that is correct. I cut the newspaper into four strips for the origami instruction. But you can fold it without cut, then the paper is thicker at the beginning.

Results time!

People always say how hard it is to judge monthly challenges. They're right. This month saw a lot of great entries. But without further ado, here are the winners.

Third Place: Victoria Serova - Cat

Very well-executed, and I like the "mane" that others have pointed out.

Second Place: jeko - Cat

A great example of simple-but-elegant folding. (And no, I don't just have a thing for cats. )

First Place: sinubuj - Dog with Newspaper

Very creative, I love the nod to the newspaper medium. Great folding and very clever. Sinubuj will judge December's challenge and pick the topic for January.

Congrats to the winners - congrats to everyone who participated. Whether you won or not, I would love to see all these models refined and refolded with the paper of your choice.

I'll be posting the December challenge momentarily. I'm in the Eastern US, so I apologize being late for folders on the other side of the Atlantic.
