monthly folding challenge: July 2011

Post by -sebl- »

the subject for this month is : "IN THE SKY"

It will be: birds, planes, insects, animals, ...
but whatever is done must be in flight
this does not mean that your origami flying once made :mrgreen:

the rules:
- no cut
- no glue
- one sheet of paper

the judge for this month is Obelisk

Gook luck :wink:

Can it also be things that aren't from the "real world", like dragons etc?

I think it is a yes, but just to be sure.

This one isn't "in flight" per se, but it is close enough and it has wings (isn't that the point of the challenge?). This is a thestral-I designed it for the Harry Potter challenge last month, but was a day too late in finishing it:
