Star Puff (Ralf Konrad): Hexagon
By starting with a hexagon you can easily form an outer star. I think I'll teach this version of "Star Puff" in the upcoming instructional video.
Paper: hexagon with a side length of approx. 10cm, Pacon paper
Model: hexagon with a side length of approx. 6.2cm, 1.3cm height
Owl (Nguyen Hung Cuong)
This is probably as evil as you can get this cute owl model to look. The red eyes give it a somewhat demonic touch. I found the folding sequence to be pleasing, and like that it can be folded nicely even from small paper. Watch out, though, the model is completely open-backed - as if you'd cut the owl in half lengthwise. Now if that isn't a scary description... but Halloween's coming up, after all!
Paper: 11.75cm square of tissue foil, black/red
Model: 5.6cm high, 4cm wide, 2.25cm deep
