Big Book Of Origami

With more than 300 pages of origami projects-all featuring detailed instructions and illustrations, and with something for every level-this collection is simply a treasure trove of exquisite ideas. The designs come not only from traditional Japanese sources, but also from an international array of artists who have created some truly unique items. Beginners will enjoy constructing simple animals, including a rabbit and terrier, as well as a pretty classic Star-Box and beautiful flowers. As novices develop their skills they can try their hand at more complex projects, including boats, seashells, graceful cranes, and airplanes. Or, for something really special, make an origami mini-theater with puppet models. Stories, legends, parables, and other writings throughout add to the book's unusual spirit.Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. is the author of 'Big Book Of Origami', published 2005 under ISBN 9781402712487 and ISBN 1402712480.
