Fold beautiful papercraft butterflies with this easy origami book.
Whimsical, exquisite and fragile, butterflies and moths have enchanted
and inspired people for centuries. Origami artist Michael G. LaFosse is
no exception. His original butterfly paper-folding techniques are a
dramatic new development in origami--which some have hailed as the most
important advance in origami since the first paper cranes appeared
centuries ago. Hundreds of LaFosse butterflies have been featured in
exhibitions around the world and his iconic designs are now eagerly
sought and widely imitated by folding enthusiasts everywhere.
Michael LaFosse's Origami Butterflies presents original paper folding
projects from LaFosse's extensive butterfly and moth repertoire,
including all his personal favorites. This collection has many
rarely-seen origami designs, and several of the models illustrate new
technical and design achievements made possible by the ingenious
"LaFosse Origami Butterfly Folding System." This exciting new book with
accompanying DVD represents the culmination of a lifetime of designing
and perfecting the art of origami butterflies. It contains everything
you need to create your own unique collection.
This origami book contains
- 112 page, full-color book
- 26 original designs

These elegant forms--each created from a single square sheet of paper
without cutting or glue--showcase the versatility of the origami folding
system. All are deceptively simple, yet provide a solid foundation for
creative flights of fancy in the hands of an experienced folder. Clear
step-by-step instructions show you how to make hundreds of different
variations by making small adjustments to a few key paper folds! Whether
dry-folded from recycled candy wrappers or wet-folded from expensive
handmade papers, these designs exemplify the best aspects of the paper
folder's art today.
