Anyone can become an origami artist with the help of this easy-to-follow guide book. Specially written for beginning paperfolders, it starts you off with the very easiest models and progresses to more complex ones. (A key, using asterisks, indicates at a glance the degree of each project's difficulty.)
Fifty-seven models include such simple figures as two kinds of caps (one with a visor and one without), cubes, airplanes, a vase, a 4-pointed star, a stool, and a square box. While the book is geared toward novices, more experienced origamists will also find unusual projects to challenge their skills, among them Cinderella's slipper, a pair of gyroscopes, a 10-sided box, a 5-pointed star, a basket, and a vampire bat. A helpful list of symbols at the beginning of the book defines the various folding instructions. In addition, each model is illustrated by step-by-step diagrams with captions that take you through each step of the paperfolding process.
Offering hours of personal enjoyment and satisfaction,
