Origami Books

This is an introductory origami book aimed at beginners, featuring 20 popular paper folding projects. The book focuses on accessibility, with clear, color-illustrated step-by-step instructions for each model. The projects range from practical items like picture frames to delightful figures like a mother duck with duckling, and even include interactive models like a dart glider and an inflatable bunny balloon.

The author, Michael G. LaFosse, is a well-established origami master who co-founded the Origamido Studio, a specialized learning center that also creates handmade paper for origami artists. His expertise has been recognized through various exhibitions and he was featured in the award-winning documentary "Between the Folds."

What makes this book particularly appealing is its mix of simple and slightly more challenging projects, including both traditional single-sheet designs and "modular" origami that uses multiple sheets. It's designed to help complete beginners gradually build their skills while creating enjoyable and practical paper crafts.
