Arctic Playground
As mentioned in my Penguin in a Snow Storm, I saw mobii’s Origami Penguin Tee shirt, and wanted to give it a go myself. This is the scenario I had in mind for it, and the first penguin I folded (the one in Penguin in a Snow Storm folded from a 7×7mm piece of paper) was too small, so I folded two bigger penguins with 14×14mm pieces of paper.
The one on the left is flying up a bit after the right one stomped onto the other end.
The seasaw is a cotton swab, and the “ice”, upon which the penguins and seesaw are reflected, is a plastic container.
For a better idea of scale:

This work won 1st place in this challenge but the record got lost due to this accident. But I’m very thankful to the host Pene who has re-accepted my work into the group and made a special note in the challenge about my winning work.
It looks great on a card!

As a entrant I hope you’re not planning to enter this into the Cotton Swab challenge…..I’d have no chance hahahaha lol…...what an incredible work…..you either have the mind of a genius or WAY too much time on your hands…I LOVE IT, well done!!!!!
Mui-Ling Teh replied
lol; sorry I am entering it ;) No guarantee that I’ll win it though :P.
About whether I’m a genius or I have way too much time on my hands, neither applies to me :P I’d be acing in university if I were a genius, and I have so many other things that I need to do! It’s just a hobby I really miss.
