The New Origami Dozens of Projects Using the Newest Kinds of Origami Modular Puzzle Storytelling Practical Symmetrical and Layered



Origami paperfolders from beginners to experts will delight in this extensive new collection from the authors of Essential Origami. The New Origami contains dozens of original projects that employ cutting-edge techniques, including: modular origami (using interlocking pieces of paper); performance origami (accompanied by a story or explanation); geometrical origami (illustrating principals of geometry); kasaneori or layered paperfolding (using overlapping layers to create “ribbons” of color); puzzle origami (featuring interchangeable parts that create a brain-teasing effect); practical origami (making useable objects like envelopes, frames, and wallets); multiple symmetry (sinking, pleating, and folding to create symmetrical patterns and shapes). Each technique is accompanied by easy-to-follow, two-color illustrations.

4 Stars The New Origami : Dozens of Projects Using the Newest Kinds of Origami: Modular, Puzzle, Storytelling, Practical, Symmetrical, a
Fantastic book for the more experienced folder. The detailing of the models is exquisite!

5 Stars A very imaginative and genuine approach.
i had only seen and tried very basic origami. the book, the new origami explores a lot of different possibilities with paper and also leaves the reader with a lot more to imagine. The instructions are simple and the models made are very fascinating.

5 Stars For all ages and abilities
I bought this book for my 12 year old son, who somehow ended up interested in origami. He is with his grandparents for the week and he and his grandmother hauled out her scrapbooking supplies and spent an afternoon making one of the more complicated projects. The instructions are clear and the pictures are great. I definately recommend this book.

5 Stars An amazing instructional book…
“The New Origami” is quite possibly the greatest beginner book there is… it has incredibly good diagrams and very clear text instructions to go along with each one… it’s projects range from very basic to high intermediate (I don’t think any other beginner book even attempts to take you as far as this one does). On a whim one day I picked up this book and “Brilliant Origami”, having never done origami in the first place (aside from flapping birds and paper airplanes)… after completing “The New Origami” I was able to tackle even the hardest models in “Brilliant Origami” (which is an intermediate to advanced book if ever there was one). Since then I’ve collected many origami books (old to new, simple to complex), and I’ve yet to find another book that I’d recommend above “The New Origami” for someone wanting to get into the world of paper folding.

5 Stars New and innovative Origami book
The diagrams are extremely clear and the illustration of the hands position combined with the text, helps the creation of extraordinaary models. The Pterodont (seen in the cover) produces an amazing result. Just one advice: Use at least 9″x9″ paper, so you can get the best effect from the claws. With a little patience and a few days, one can make a very cool mobile with pre-historic animals.
