Book Description
Easy-to-follow directions for creating customizable and fun origami models, many of which can move, spin, or change shape.
Learn to fold colored paper into simple shapes, known as modules, and how to put them together, without using sticky tape or glue, to create amazing and attractive origami ornaments and sculptures.
The 25 models presented in this book will show you how to create 18 projects, which begin at a very simple level so that you can succeed on your very first try. Subsequent models and projects allow you to develop your skills, so that by the time you reach the last project, you will be folding and assembling something extraordinary.
Each of the designs can be customized using different kinds of paper and combinations of colors so that each finished ornament will be a unique and personal expression of the design.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Nicely presented . . . What sets this book apart from other modular origami books is the clear mathematical explanations . . . The final chapter, ‘Going Further,’ describes in detail how you can create your own models by adapting other designs (working through several what-if scenarios) . . . An interesting selection of both original models and classics from other designers, each accompanied with clear diagrams and written instructions . . . Worth adding to your collection, especially if you’re passionate about polyhedra. — ―The Fold (OrigamiUSA)
