Wow, that's a very nice ice-skate. Great design.

Why cheating? It is not easy to buy black-white paper in the every place on the globe, so I think that it is understable, if someone use two-color paper and other people will imagine that it is black and white.

Well, I created this model:

Edit: ah, I used a square paper.

Terrific ! A 21st Century version of The Last Waltz... And from a square rather than a rectangle. Congrats !

Someone mentioned B&W cranes... if you want to play around, I believe there is an old design of a blintzed bird base. Use B&W paper, but fold half of the flaps Valley and half Mountain, then follow the normal Crane. Half can be side by side or diagonal, and the crane can be oriented two different ways.

Potentially 4 different results.... but I don't think it is original, and I don't recall the original designer... but a nice effect, regardless.

oh. I mispelled the origami title, it´s "Dançante", but I couldn´t put the Ç

Ah, and thanks for the compliments ^^

here´s the CP, just to show it´s made from 1 square paper.

Wow! That's magnificent. Really well done tadashimori!

It's the fist time I take part in the challange. I created a simple eagle from a fish base. It's one of those b&w eagles. Let's say it's The African Fish Eagle

Very beautiful eagle!

Very aesthetic bi-colored eagle . Apparently, it's very evenly balanced as well !
Nicely done.

Nice eagle Frydrych, very elegant.

Nice Eagle, although the African Fish Eagle is not really black and white.

Thank you all for nice and constructive comments.
Indeed, it's not black and white. It's black and white and brown and yellow, but since paper has only two sides (colours) we have to hammer out a compromise.

I just happened to create another simple model, this one is only black and white in nature, but I'll post the picture as soon as I take it. Temporarily I have no camera.

Ok, my camera has just arrived.
So, my second model for the challenge is another bird, the House Martin.

Now that`s nice!
You captured the shape of the wings perfectly!

Those are both beautiful, Frydrych.
I love how clean and simple they look too.
