Well, it is from a 2X1 rectangle. You could of course fold it from a single square by folding your square in half at the beginning to make a 2X1 rectangle if you're a true purist.

Here are a couple of overhead angles (with better lighting) so you can get the 3-D perspective. The second view shows the overlap more clearly. Though the branches don't show well from this angle:

I join with this model!
In the battle of the angel and the evil, some angels aren't strong enough and their hearts are fallen into the deep of evil! They feel pain, suffering and regret!

From 1 uncut rectangle paper and the color naturally changes at the left wing! ^__^

THE JOY OF ICE CREAM

The ICE CREAM (WITH CONE) is one incut, unglued square of scrap book paper.

The FACE (WITH TONGUE) is one uncut unglued square of scrap book paper.

Adams Chen, your Fallen angel is fantastic!! Amazing!!

I think some people forgot to post what their "feeling/emotion/mood" is. I wouldn't say a submission qualifies unless we know what they were trying to accomplish...

The ANGER of the skies

GUIDANCE:Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction

Hope: “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise”

On This past Thanksgiving my wife and I visited our daughter who works in Kansas City. She took us on November 23rd. to see the World War I memorial in Kansas City. Guarding the memorial are two carved sphinx. One sphinx statue represents the past and the other the future. Both statues have wings that completely hide their faces. The statue of the past is said to be shielding it’s eyes from the atrcites of war while the other represents the idea that the future is veiled. In Greece, the Sphinx became a she-monster, with the head and breasts of a woman, and the body of a lion. Sphinxes are cherubim, guardian angels who protect the living and the dead. Other cultures represent the sphynx with other combinations of animals. “The sphinx encourages all to remember the past while looking toward the future.”

I immediately new that I needed to use this inpiraton for an origami model. So I began planning my model. Unfortunately, I had a little set-back when I suffered a tear of the cornea. This gave me an even greater appreciation of what shielding your eyes meant.

I call the latest creation “Trepidation - Great agitation and anxiety caused by the expectation or the realization of danger”

Part of my therapy after the eye-surgery was to remain in a 45 degree angle, so the instructions for folding this model go something like this –

1. Close one eye
2. Prepare a folding surface that is close to the open eye
3. Tilt your head 45 degrees and do not move for one week.
4. Fold with great inspiration -------



FOLDED WITH ONE UNCUT SQUARE OF FOIL WRAPPING PAPER

Very nice FirstFold!
I like the colour-changed wings!

I don't know if I can follow those instructions...
...particularly the tilting my head 45 degrees and not moveing for a week.

Nice fold! I like the first picture.

OK, isn't it time to announce the winners for December Challenge?
And the new challenge for January?

Let's hope quesoonfire isn't on extended christmas vacations...
