| This book is the perfect place to start if you like to create something out of almost nothing--which is basically what papercrafters do. Compiled by magician and entertainer Rober Harbin, this treasury of Origami projects offers challenges for paperfolders at all levels of expertise. Hundreds of line diagrams give step-by-step directions for constructing over 120 fragile objects and graceful figures ranging from simple to complex. Traditional subjects such as a sailboat, cicada, flapping bird, jumping frog and a party hat are accompanied by new designs: a Japanese lady, a gargoyle, an octopus, a Moor at prayer and many others. Includes a section on great international folders and and their secrets for creating truly remarkable models, featuring Adolfo Cerceda's magnificent peacock, Fred Rohm's amazing performing seal, and Ligia Montoya's exquisite bird of paradise.
