Origami in Color

by Zülal Aytüre-Scheele

This delightful introduces you simply and clearly to the creative and fascinating Japanese art of paper folding. Over 340 superb close-up color photographs show you step by step how to make a wide variety of beautiful triple-tested color-paper models, from fanciful frogs, camels, elephants, penguins and peacocks to practical table decorations, life-like bunches of flowers, even a series of children's masks. All these and more are derived from just seven simple basic paper shapes, so with the aid of the easy-to-follow instructions and the accompanying practical picture sequences even children can join in the fun. Also illustrated are inspirational set-pieces, such as an aquarium, a forest and a lakeside, showing how you can arrange your paper models into imaginative scenarios.

Disappointing book. It lacked more than once good explanation and more pictures so you can make the models. At times things were really hard to see and do. Better books are out there!
