First sentence: Nature and all of its creatures are themes in origami, but the birds, beasts, bugs, and butterflies in this book were inspired not by nature itself but by animals that creep, crawl, swim, and fly in works of art in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Description: This book has been created especially for newcommers to the art of origami by experts Steve and Megumi Biddle. Each of the twenty illustrated projects can be made in ten steps or less. The projects are arranged in order of difficulty so that your expertise will grow as you progress through the book. The creatures on these pages were inspired by animals that creep, crawl, swim, and fly through works of art in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum or Art, and are drawn from both Asian and Western sources.
