Ha, looks good congrats!! but without competition

I am new to the forum and have just starting designing models. I thought it would be a good idea to try this out to practice designing. First time posting pics, hope this works!

This model draws from Joseph's Wu's warai design (which i just love). I actually intended them to be robots but they ended up looking so similar to the warai : )

And brief disclaimer: Since I'm new here, I'm not sure what is proper etiquette regarding borrowing from or adapting someone else's design. This is clearly different, but obvious similarities. Hoping this is okay : )






I also put some red paper in the heart which really makes it stand out. Kind of cheating, so this one doesn't count : )



Love all the designs so far! The siamese twins are insane! So cool!

Haha, I always look at pictures before text, and when I saw your picture, I immediately though "warai!" I really like them!! Well done!

Here's my submission. Twin Owl Chicks, folded from tissue foil.

Two Spiders on a Rock

Designed and folded by me, from a 6 inch square of black hanji. (too small) Folded dry, with no MC added.

Keeping it simple.

Unfortunately I didn't have proper white paper. Now I know what to do with those pink squares! Just put the color inside the model!

Yes, one uncut square.
Also, my first design using circle packing.

Nothing inspired you Jared ??

[insaneorigami]

Oh, Jesus Christ, Jared.... ..that paper looks amazing... I like the model, but maybe some more thinning in the legs? Though from your comment, the paper size may have made it too tough to do :/.

Overall, nicely done, though!

[origamimasterjared]

Huh, Rod? I don't think anything particularly inspired me. I just wanted to fold something fairly simple. I guess it's kinda similar to Quentin's Comedy/Tragedy masks.

Insaneorigami, the paper couldn't handle any more. I MCd a sheet of the same paper and I'll try folding it soon.

Two Spiders on a Rock

Designed and folded by me, from a 6 inch square of black hanji pretreated with MC.

Methyl cellulose makes everything better--it must be the origami panacea!
