Publisher Description: A lucky horseshoe fish. A ninja star from outer space. A tie-dyed flapping bird. And 54 more origami models on surprising paper. Here, origami is reinvented. Mixing classically inspired and contemporary patterns, easy and challenging--what is origami but a brainteaser in paper? The Joy of Origami celebrates the art form's deepest tradition of sharing with a completely fresh and jazzy feel. The models range from birds and beasts to pinwheels and hats; the 100 sheets of paper included in the book are fun, bold, and unexpected. What is the real joy of origami? The "Wow " that comes after the final fold. |
