Origamido: The Art of Paper Folding
Don't dismiss the Japanese art of paper folding as a "kids only" craft. Artist LaFosse reveals through his own works and those of 39 other artists throughout the world that the way of origami (hence, "origamido") is a fully formed art for adults, too. More than 60 designs are showcased in full color and accompanied by particulars about size, techniques, and description. Four themes predominate: animal, vegetable, or mineral (a stegosaurus); play (a Slinkylike spring into action); form and function (tetrahedron); and masks and figures (St. George and the dragon).
