First sentence: "Origami," the simple art of paper folding, originated in Japan and was passed down by generations fo Japanese who taught their children te basics, and the joy, of creating fantasy worlds from paper.
Description: Pick up an ordinary piece of paper, start folding it, and out comes the magic of origami, as you build up your own collection of wild animals, colorful flowers, and human characters. All it takes is a little practice with the five basic folds and a few simple modifications. Then try your hand at more than 25 projects that range from a rattlesnake to a rhinoceros, as well as a dragon, flying fox, and killer whale—along with a cowboy, his horse and his hat, plus a mythical phoenix and pegasus. Some are so simple they make great party games, while others are so impressive you'll want to display them proudly for years. Each project comes with diagrams and explanations of each fold--over 1,000 diagrams and captions in all. To make one-of-a-kind models, follow the tips for personalizing them with your favorite colors, faces, and funny touches.
Notes: Includes illustrations (some color).
