Other Interpretations
As far as I know, none of these are based on mine, though I think mine was the first. (When I thought of it, I searched for others, since I couldn't believe no one had thought of it before. Probably someone had, of course.)
- Heidi of My Paper Crane - Heidi does the proper uninflated tail thing I decided not to mess with for my first effort.
- Sam of Fluffyland (possibly influenced by Heidi's)
As always, I'd love to see pictures of finished (or hey, in-progress) items, especially if I can post them here (or link to your page of pictures, whichever). And if you're selling them, or if you can be commissioned to make one, do let me know and I'll link to that, too.
