This book is the perfect pace to start if you like to created something out of almost nothing- which is basically what papercrafters do. Compiled by magician and entertainer Robert Harbin this treasury of Origami projects offers challenges for paperfolders at all levels of expertise.
Hundreds of line diagrams give step-by-step directions for constructing over 120 fragile objects and graceful figures ranging from simple to complex. Tradition subjects such as a sailboat, cicada, flapping bird, jumping frog and a party hat are accompanied by newer designs: a Japanese lady, a gargoyle, an octopus, a Moor at prayer and many others. An especially interested feature is a section on great international folders and teir secrets for creating truly remarkable models. Among these are Adolfo Cercedas' magnificent peacock. Fred Rohm's amazing performing seal, Ligia Montoys's exquisite bird of paradise and the author's delightful Japanese blue pheasant and mate. These highly original, entertaining (and sometime very challenging ) projects wil captivate hobbyists of all ages and abilities.
