Even though they don't seem like much it takes about 4-6 hours to build one little figure. I start out with stencils I design for the different cubes for the basic body. I cut them out, stick the right colored paper to them, fold and glue them together, and add limbs and accessories that I build separately. Each one I do gets more and more complex.
The first two I made were a pink dog holding a bone and a frog that's tongue comes out of it's mouth when you pull on it. The tongue is covered with flies (sorry for the fuzzy photos).
I made a couple of blue elephants next.
Tomorrow I'm going to finish up some Mario Bros. ones.
This could be fun.
