Complete Origami

Product Description

Complete Origami: Techniques & Projects for All Levels The adept origamist can produce anything from a simple dog or chicken to amazing geometric models & this book shows exactly how. Featuring hundreds of specially drawn, step-by-step diagrams, clear instructions from masterorigamist & author David Mitchell, & beautiful photographs of the finished pieces, it contains projects ranging from very simple pieces that can be achieved with a few basic folds, to complex birds with flapping wings. As well as origami that is purely ornamental, such as the Japanese crane, Verdis vase & the octahedral pyramid, the book shows how to make games & toys, such as basketball hoops & classic paper planes that can be used to while away an idle hour. It also showcases projects that can be made using non-traditional papers, such as sticky notes, that can be found anywhere. With over 25 projects to choose from, all presented in full colour, Complete Origami will enable anyone to enjoy, if not master, this amazing & popular craft. About the Author David Mitchell has been fascinated with origami since he was eleven & is a prolific inventor of original paperfolds, action novelties, magical tricks & manipulative puzzles, many of which reflect his somewhat off-beat sense of humour. He is the author of many books on specialist aspects of origami, such as Origami, Origami Animals, Sticky Note Origami, Office Origami & Origami Alfresco. He lives in Kendal, Cumbria.
