Monthly Folding Challenge - August 2008

And the topic for the August challenge is...

"Cute"

It might sound easy at first, but I think it really is a challenge to create something cute in origami. That's probably why there is so little origami that really strikes us as 'cute' (and that's why I picked this topic).

The rules: fold something cute in origami. One sheet per entity, no cutting. It can be a baby, a kitten, puppy, or a cartoon character - or be creative and come up with something else! For the purpose of this contest I mean "cute" as in the adorable, innocent type of cute. The model which deemed the cutest by the judge will be the winner.

Here's some inspiration:

Unbelievable Winnie ! I really like the red coat.

Is it three dimensional with a closed back, or just the front ?

He looks a little creepy without his eyes. Maybe you could uhh...cheat a little by drawing them on with a marker?

Nice work so far! If I'm not mistaken, firstfold is to be the judge for the August contest?

The chimp looks really cute Quentin. Nice work on getting the banana, but is it just me or does it look like its giving me the finger. Well anyway, is that a modification of your monkey? I cannot enter this contest because most of the stuff I create is borderline creepy not cute. Even Mark Kirschenbaum's teddy bear looks like it wants to suck someone's blood.
