Synopsis
This comprehensive origami book covers all the essentials needed to start folding beautiful projects right away.
World-renowned origami artists Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander share their wisdom and expertise in this complete introduction to the world of origami paper folding. Beginning origami folders can progress through 16 step-by-step lessons, each with an accompanying video lesson on the free DVD included with this book. All videos are also streamable or downloadable online. Each lesson features a project that's been selected to encourage the development of origami folding techniques in a highly enjoyable way. Most of the projects are original, never seen before in print.
In addition to presenting invaluable information about how to select your origami papers, how to preserve and display your origami creations, and even how to begin selling origami commercially--this origami book also presents the authors' original "philosophy" of the paper folder's art.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Much detail is included regarding the authors' philosophy of folding, origami as a way of connecting with others, folding as art rather than craft, finding oneself as an origami artist, selecting materials, preservation, and showing and selling origami." --Booklist "For people who are comfortable with the craft, this is an excellent guide to the art of origami, with thoughts from these two renowned artists on paper selection, folding techniques, displaying, and preserving folded objects, among other issues." --Forward magazine "a complete course of instruction that is an ideal do-it-yourself introduction to the Japanese art of paper folding." --Midwest Book Review
