This is based on a beagle by Kuni Kasahara. Sarah wanted a spaniel with floppy ears - the ears didn't turn out quite as floppy as I wanted, but Sarah seemed to like it.

A fairly simple "dollar bill" fold, I created this in about 15 minutes.

On the other hand, it took me so long to create this polar bear that Jo thought I'd forgotten about it! Still, I think it turned out pretty good in the end.

I don't know why Muriel wanted a crossbow. Yes, it really does work.

Adrian wanted a monkey to hang (he's a Hartlepool supporter). While folding I remembered those toy monkeys that link together to form a chain. Each individual monkey is rather crude, but as a group they are quite effective.

For Suzanne. This is a two piece model - I normally stick rigidly to the "one piece, no cuts" rule, but simplicity is also a virtue, and for a light-hearted piece like this I didn't feel that the extra complexity needed to make it from a single piece was really justified.

For Kay. One piece of tissue paper, hand coloured with ink and pastel.
