I was expecting to fold this with a little more color, but it turns out that not only am I running out of paper, I'm also running out of glue (which I'll get more of both in the next two weeks, most likely).
So here is my submission, Penrod, one of the crew of the Flying Dutchman. He is half man, half lobster. Folded from a 15cm square of Japanese foil.
"The theme for July is ''Pirates of the Caribbean"
The task is to fold a model or a scene that clearly shows what theme it is supposed to be ..."
I believe that the theme is broader than the movie and that the movie is just given as an example of one apporach?
I chose (and already folded) what I had planned to put in the treasure chest from:
"Pirates of the Caribbean" 1493-1720 by Cruz Aspestegui Chatwell Books, Inc. 2002
Help - I need a ruling on this - I can always change what I had planned into either gold or a heart if needed but given the folds already made it would be a broken heart.
I would like to see your original idea at the end of the month, gold or a bumping heart would be too obvious, I'm curious to see what really is inside.
Pirates store all kinds of things in their treasure chests, I'm curious what you put inside.
If a submission is off-topic, naturally it will get judged lower. Nothing to worry about. A treasure chest sounds like fair game to me. Keep in mind, I'm all for creative interpretation. If judges feel like it's too much of a stretch, well then, it'll naturally be judged lower.
As long as it's done well and artistic, it's all good. Nice work so far,

Haha. Silly me. I totally forgot about that one But a heart in the chest would be much more unique, and identifiable with the Pirates of The Caribbean Trilogy.
Just one more "historical fact". "Pirates of the Caribbean" the movie was based on the Disney World attraction that opened in 1973. I saw the attraction with my wife, son (now age 38) and daughter in the later 1970's. According to facts on the Disney web sight, it was originally conceived in the 1950's as a Wax museum exhibit.
My treasure chest holds something that is historically accurate for Pirates (17th. and 18th century) but NOT in the movie - perhaps it should have been or could be in a future sequal. I will show a relationship between the object and the movie script.

This is NOT in the treasure chest but it may be a better fold. If I put it in the chest it would have to be a Golden compass and that is anoother movie.
Jack Sparrow's compass folded uncut from a 40 by 8 rectangle.
But a heart in the chest would be much more unique, and identifiable with the Pirates of The Caribbean Trilogy.
