About this title

Synopsis

Take your paper folding to an advanced level with this user-friendly origami book.

From shimmering hummingbirds to magnificent bats, from a stunning panther mask to graceful sea turtles, Michael G. LaFosse's complex and beautiful origami projects are well known around the world. Focusing on models from nature, Advanced Origami provides unparalleled instruction on how to create master-class level 3D origami paper folding projects. The origami designs are challenging--they require some folding experience--but the results are more origami art than craft. Paper folders will create projects that can be displayed or given as gifts.

Sophisticated origami or paper crafts fans will appreciate the unique origami designs along with complete detailed instructions and easy-to-follow color photos and diagrams.
