Last year at Phoenix Comicon I folded a Chinese zodiac. For this year, to improve on this, I clearly had to do the same in foil:

Wasn't all I did, but it was the work I was proudest of. It also caught the most attention.

Something I've only recently relearned (and confirmed this weekend with side-by-side comparisons): textured foil is easier to work than flat foil. Not that it's any less forgiving of misplacing or inverting creases, but it doesn't crinkle up when you handle it (let alone breathe on it).

And these are all in textured foil. :-)
