That's not overly original. i think i'll submit the frog origami thing my friend invented...

[VirtualMetal]

I can't make origami

Well. Only those lame ones everyone makes with leaflets. Like water bombs (Aha, a kiko )

I know, but I don't know anybody else who folds the legs like that. I learned it when I was relaly young at it is the only origami I know. Most to the legs like this

...and it was better than my original idea of faerie bubbles!

[o_0]

Well, seeing as two Japanese exchange students are staying at my house for a week starting Tuesday...

Whoa! I've never seen the legs done like that! I think i'll submit faerie bubbles as well. So many cheap ideas. i gotta think of something more original. I saw a tree in an origami book once...

My friend was making all of Neopia Central in origami. I hope her digital camera breaks Err...I wish her all the best of luck!

Wow. I'd love to see that. And I have seen frogs folded like that before -- they jump, don't they? I sort of want get my friend to make me something cause he's good with origami and has made several models of his own, but I'd be too embarassed to ask him for a Neopet.

Okay.....

3 hours.

22 sheets of paper, one of those lost in a paper plane accident (I couldn't resist.)

2 papercuts.

½ liter of diet coke.

1 fit of frustration.





And this is what I have to show.....





DOES IT LOOK LIKE A BLUE ACARA YET??!?!?!??!!?


Bah...I think I'll have to wait until next contest.

[Erin]

Well I, unlike all you cowards, was brave enough to submit my *cough*crumpled up ball of paper*cough* wonderful piece of stunning origami. Bwahahaha!



My text submission:

Haiku for a Pet Rock

A friend made of stone,
Who never wets the carpet.
Sort of boring though.

To make your own Origami Pet Rock -
Take one (1) standard 8.5 x 11 size piece of printer paper. Using a complex series of twisting and crunching motions, mold it until it is spherical in shape, resembling a Pet Rock! Ta da!

*dies laughing* If I get in, I'm... well, I dunno what I'll do, but it'll be funny. lol

Ignorant paper
Will not do what I wanted
Profane words I yell.

Ha! You weren't really folding paper for three hours, you were coming up with that haiku!! lol

[The Wonder Weezel]

yeah, heres a hint for you guys... i strongly suggest that you dont just take a "crane" "dog" "elephant" or "frog" or some other common oragami and say its a lenny, lupe, elephante, or mortog.... they are looking for something original, like... you actually tried to make a lenny, not a crane and called it a lenny... i cant wait! im going to make something COOL... you just wait and see

[aliboy]

i have the best idea ever for the snowager but i dont have a digital camera and im afraid if i tell my friends they will laught at me
