Monthly Folding Challenge - August 2009

Post by **origami_8** » August 9th, 2009, 11:25 pm

As suggested by Sara Adams, I folded Sunburst's Naga. It was really tough to pack it in only 30 steps. Folded from 9x9cm note paper, based on a fishbase.

Here is a Naga I folded from CP some time ago:

And here you can see the original folded by the master himself:

Some modifications can be made to my simple frog to make it more complex . This one exceeds the 30 step limit, and I know it is not eligible for the challenge. I am merely posting it to show that the simple frog can be modified into a more realistic frog design.

There have been many many octopus designs...most notable of one's by Kamiya Satoshi, Peter Engels, Sipho Mabona, Joseph Wu etc.

Here is my simple version of the octopus:

It's about 7 steps including precreasing and between 30-20 folds if you count all the shaping.

I forgot the design was based on diagonal symmetry rather than horizontal so there are some extra creases which shouldn't be there

Hi,
As usual all these designs are great !

I folded a simple Ryu Zin (30 steps) :

I have to say that the tail is in reality more long than you can see on this photo.
