Review :
Brief introduction, history, paper and techniques plus projects that are graded by skill. Excellent for beginners, the book shows every paper fold. Projects include crane, snail, stars and more for beginners plus more advanced projects for honing your skills. When you have worked through the techniques, you should be able to create your own projects.-Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk Origami is one of those crafts that are suitable for a vast range of people. There are many fine books already on the market, but this is one that is aimed purely at beginners (or perhaps anybody needing to brush up on forgotten skills). Small and slender, this modest volume is just the thing for anybody who wants to learn origami. It is easy to get put off by the fact that too many origami books like to put their most advanced models on the cover, even if they are only featured in a gallery! This has more modest but impressive models and goes from a short potted history to choosing papers, learning what all the symbols mean and getting au fait with the way instructions are presented. That being out of the way it is on with the actual folding, and some effective but reassuringly simple folds. Each model is shown in a series of diagrams each with a short caption, and the colored (or top) side of the paper shown in a color. This works best with the paler shades, as for the darker ones you will need to be in a good light to make them out. In the next chaper you get to learn about bases, and further chapters introduce 3D models and even modular origami where larger models are built up out of smaller folds. At the back is a short chapter on advanced folding which is a good reason to hang onto the book after you have learnt the basics. As for the models themselves there are flat folds that look great on a greetings card (especially the shirt), handy boxes and hats to wear if made large enough, models for the table at celebrations and more. For its modest price (under GBP7 or $15) this is a good basic book for beginners.-Myshelf.com Aimed at beginners, this book includes techniques and tips to get you started, even if you've never folded a sheet of paper. With school holidays not far away, something new will keep all ages engrossed for hours. The projects include a cat, a dog, a flower and a classic crane with flapping wings plus a frog, a lantern and a star. Step-by-step diagrams show basic techniques and the finished pieces are beautifully photographed.-Machine Knitting Monthly Great for crafters who want an entry-level introduction to the ancient art of paper folding. Mark Bolitho is a world-renowned origami artist, and in this book he includes origami history, techniques, advice on equipment and many step-by-step projects.-Craft Focus
