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.
