Miguel the Matador struts confidently into the arena, the crowd erupts, enraptured. El Toro stampedes into the arena, head held high, the crowd roars entusiastically:
Proudly El Toro circles the matador, alert yet regal the matador watches his worthy opponet, a balletic interplay continues, each proud adversary taunting the other until…
they both live happy ever after, El Toro got put out to pasture and the Matador, a champion for animal rights forms PETA and abolished the barbaric … yeah, I know, I got nothing.
Interesting figurative model – each suggestive of form without being nit-pickingly detailed – I like them, except for the sport they personify. I was looking for “Llopio’s moment of truth” by Neal Elias but could not find a licensed diagram, so I bought the book that it is in – it is being shipped from the British Origami Society as we speak, so settled on a much simpler but none the less effective model by Robert Neale.
I had to cheat – you can just see the splayed paper clip and blob of bluetac holding up the matador (his ankles are too weak and the balance is all wrong for him to stand unaided, sadly.
Why a bullfight? Well, we have been invited to a Spanish-inspired lunch by some old friends “The Goodies” so I thought getting in the mood was a good plan.
i thought all your foldings had to be one paper and not two?
I am allowing myself one or two compound folds a month – they look better together so rather than doing them over two days I thought why not one
Can’t wait to see the rendition of Pamplona, or, Pedro – the gay, vegan, President of Native Animals for Free Spaces (NAFS) whose goal is to remove all non-native animals from Spain and her colonies – Viva Serpiente – vibora a’spid!!
lol … how might one fold that? Suggestions welcome
maybe the bullfighter model chasing random animals away with a carrot or another vege?
