I improvised the designs of these models over the course of about ten minutes. I did not go back and alter or remake any of the models; what you see is precisely what was folded. The main challenge was giving each one of them a distinct character: with so few folds, how do you convey movement? Emotions? A story? The extreme freedom of the instructions only adds to the interpretive difficulty.

Jeremy Shafer's Monolithic Rubblestone Boulder also makes an appearance, re-imagined as a ball.
