| Summary |
"Origami is the art of paper folding, as is likely known by anyone picking up this book. Less known is how diverse origami is as an art form. Most people who have practiced origami have folded paper cranes, fishes, and frogs, or perhaps some of the many "playground" origami models that children teach to each other, like paper airplanes, fortune-tellers, and ninja throwing stars. Those who catch the paper-folding bug, however, learn how to fold dragons, insects, and octopi, each from an uncut square. Those who go further might see pictures like those in Figure 0.1, where two origami models, one rather simple and the other very complex, are shown with their respective crease patterns (the pattern of creases you would see if you were to unfold the model)"-- Provided by publisher. |
