Description: Clean out your recycling bin, don't add to your garbage can, it's time to fold! Yesterday's trash is today's unlimited folding potential for the origami artist. Origami artist and authors, Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander present 25 fun and unique origami projects from the Origamido Studio and from some of the world's best paper folding designers, including Nick Robinson, Herman Van Goubergen, and Rona Gurkewitz. They also show how to evaluate post-consumer foldables for recycled art, and the fold like a pro.

The origami models are presented for the reader who may have little or no previous folding experience, but experienced folders will also be intrigued by the novel nature of the folds and the unusual material involved.
Notes: Includes illustrations (chiefly color).
