OK, I'll bite the bullet here. This is my first contribution as I'm not much of a designer but I manged to design this flower I call the "Vulcano Flower". Not the most complex one you will see here but there are some neat folds in it to create the colour change in the centre. square paper and folded with waterbomb base. Still need to diagram it but I suck at making diagrams.

Great!! I will be SURE to enter this time....
I didn't get my Ra design finished last time... I realized that I had the model on a 37/37 grid rather than 32.... (I was using graph paper), and never got it re-sized down to a 32....
sounds fun!!

I know it's not stated in the rules, but usually in a monthly design challenge you cannot submit an existing model. Can you clarify this Anna

I think that the moderators should prune anermak's rose.

The second one looks nice but I'm not able to make it, I cannot understand the writing on the photographs and the second photograph doesn't indicate on sight how far you should fold.

Here is my contribution, but first the real thing : an orchid from madagascar named Angraecum Sesquipedale



And my design, one square of printing paper (A4) for the flower and one square of tissue paper 50 cm for the plant, leaves and the "éperon" (the french word because I think the translation I find in my dictionnary = the spur, is not accurate). No cut, no glue :



Edit : that seems ok now
