Description
The magnum opus of one of the world's leading origami artists, the second edition of 'Origami Design Secrets' reveals the underlying concepts of origami and how to create original origami designs. Containing step-by-step instructions for 26 models, this book is not just an origami cookbook or list of instructions - it introduces the fundamental building blocks of origami, building up to advanced methods such as the combination of uniaxial bases, the circle/river method and tree theory.
Description
"The book contains detailed step-by-step instructions for 25 original figures and structural blueprints for many more. Origami novices will find directions for a variety of simple and charming figures, a hummingbird, an elephant, a baby. Origami aficionados will find such challenging masterpieces as a moose with a full set of antlers, a complete train, and the legendary (and never-before-published) Black Forest Cuckoo Clock." "What sets this book apart from other origami books is that in addition to the folding instructions, it presents - for the first time - comprehensive methods that allow one to design original origami figures."--Jacket.
