The Origami Bible by Ashley Wood, 192 Pages

http://www.thuvienso.info Here we can learn how to create beautiful models with a combination of fantastic traditional papers and stunning modern prints. With easy to follow diagrams and step-by-step instructions, we can learn simple fold sequences that can be used as the base for hundreds of different designs, then combine them to create over 50 specially chosen projects that will charm and entertain.-Machine Knitting Monthly Origami first hooked me into its mysterious web at the age of seven, and I haven't stopped folding yet! If you are wondering what the fuss is all about them look no further than this useful primer. Firstly, having a book that obligingly stays open flat is a wonderful thing when doing origami, as those diagrams need to be carefully studied. They are good, clear diagrams too, outlining every fold in words and plain, no-nonsense drawings using the correct symbols. The handsome photographs serve to show what the finished models look like, and handy symbols show whether a model is suitable for a beginner folder, or somebody more experienced. There is a guide to showing all the different types of papers around, and what else can be folded as well as the story about Sadako Sasaki and her thousand cranes. Select the model of your choice from the selector, four pages of thumbnail pictures of everything in the book and turn to the page number for the instructions. The models are grouped in several sections, from useful containers to things to appeal to children, ways of folding napkins to Christmas subjects, animals, birds, flowers and those models which have something special about them that makes folding such a pleasure. This last section surely sums up brilliantly the appeal of this timeless hobby, and this is a user friendly book that would be suitable for most ages, including perhaps another seven year old about to go on a long journey!-Myshelf.com The little origami boxes in this book are wonderful to make and use. There are lots more projects too. Simple origami projects are a good rainy day activity for children too. Brightly coloured Japanese papers are fascinating. Whilst folding the paper, the book stays flat. Its 300 illustrations guide you through the instructions with ease. More than a primer - this is probably the only book you need on the subject. The projects are graded - so even beginners will get hooked.-KarenPlatt.co.uk As well as a whopping 50 projects to try, you'll find detailed guides to origami folds, paper types and a history of the craft. Projects are divided into sections for quick reference. There's even a Christmas section, complete with place card designs and tree decorations. Best of all, this sturdy book is ring bound, so you won't lose your page when your hands are busy with a tricky fold! If you've never tried origami before, this is a good place to start. You can begin with the easy projects and learn as you go. Essential reading for any origami fans.-Papercraft Inspirations
