Description: Join origami expert John Montroll on a fascinating and fun-filled paper folding safari! Over 1,200 clear and easy-to-follow diagrams guide paper folders step-by-step in the creation of 24 African animals: lion, elephant, crocodile, gorilla, rhinoceros, gazelle, flamingo and more.

By using paper colored on one side and white on the other, some of the projects achieve particularly novel and ingenious effects: a zebra complete with stripes and a spotted giraffe, among others. Clear and concise directions combine with sharp, computer-generated images to make even the most complex designs feasible for origaamists at all levels of expertise.

With this books, hobbyists can use the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to capture the beauty and mystery of exotic and unusual animals found throughout the African continent.
