Excellente models and folds Ponadr and shortlodude! Love the color change in both cases.
The origami Facatativá event was two days ago. One of the activities was to bring a fold that answered the question "why did you start folding origami?" This was mine:
Swallow paper airplane - traditional model. Folded from fiber tissue paper attached to "papel silueta" (I'll edit the post once I learn its name in English).
When I was way young, two of my cousins folded it. I was amazed by its beauty. I believe I wasn't able to fold it back then, but accompanying them while they made it and play with it was an important moment for me. I finally gave the fold to the organizer of the Facatativá event: Camilo Torres.
Here's a different fold I made:
I know the close up picture looks way better. It's just a design exercise, made from a draft I discarded of a memo pad holder. It's folded from Stardream paper and starts with a fish base. I improvised this because every so often I give away folds in the public library and the discarded memo pad holder draft didn't seem that interesting to give away.
Cheers!
