Synopsis
From making the basic folds and forms to crafting exquisite little flower pots, frames, and pinwheels, this right-from-the-beginning question and answer guide explains everything you need to know about origami. Hundreds of close-up color photos follow each step in the process as pencil holders, miniature chairs and tables, and beautiful traditional cranes emerge from the paper. Find out what tools are needed to get started and the important terms and symbols. Try simple techniques for creating 7 projects, including coasters, paper hearts, a candy cup, and a knife and fork holder. Go beyond the fundamentals and see how to construct 14 exquisite items that require slightly more complex folding and assembling, such as a sailboat, dove, pine tree, and gift boxes. A gallery presents a collection of inspiring sculptural origami pieces by some of the best artists in the field.

Reviews
According to the introduction, the art of paper folding began well before paper was invented--the best materials available were ti leaves, palm fronds, and other types of pliable plants. It's an intriguing oxymoron, but as this Chapelle Studios instructional work makes clear, primitive materials no longer pose a problem for potential paper artists. Arranged in question-and-answer format, graduated by level of difficulty, the book first addresses basics such as tools (other than fingers) and materials (other than high-quality Japanese paper). Sections two and three concentrate on basic forms and a few projects, then give way to more complicated exercises. Tips include practical ideas, such as a metallic triangular box filled with confetti--perfect for New Year's Eve. High-quality color photographs, especially those illustrating a gallery shared by three artists, do more than their share of explanation. Barbara Jacobs
