Does anyone keep a list of the topic of past monthly challenges?

Hmm, thats an interesting question Brimstone. I checked around and it appears all the challenges are still on the forum (they began in March 2007). I'll make an archive thread anyway, if a mod cares to sticky it. Y'never know, this forum section might fill up in the next few years

That's very nice of you Joe. I had seen that past challenges were still on the forum, but would not volunteer to index them

Okay guys, I finally made some paper myself, and also folded my new design from one of the sheets:

mother & child (two giraffes)

Wow you actually made your own paper!

What ingredients did you use...and was it Lafosse technique?

Twin Maidens designed by me. Folded from a 29cm square of very heavy paper.

Wizmatt - I used 100% abaca fibers without sizing for this paper, and yes, it was Lafosse's tecnique (Which is widely used in papermaking I think)
the MC/color was added later.

Anna - nice maidens! the heads are very good.

Just joined. Not sure if I'm skilled enough to meet this months challenge but I am very interested in being a part of the min the future. Also... I'd LOVE a thread that has all of the past challenges all together! GREAT idea!
Great job on all of the twins so far!!!!
