Picture-Perfect Origami: All You Need to Know to Make Fantastic Origami Creations Shown in Step-by-Step Photos
By Nick Robinson
Condition: Like New
Origami--or paperfolding--dates back many hundreds of years in Japan, but in the last sixty years or so it has developed into a widespread creative art practiced all around the world. Origami instructions are usually given in the form of diagrams with standardized symbols
that can be understood by everyone, whatever the language of the folder. For the novice folder, the lack of realism can be confusing, especially when the flat sheet of paper starts to transform into a three-dimensional design. PICTURE-PERFECT ORIGAMI uses photographs to aid clarity and understanding. The book starts by explaining the standard origami symbols and folding sequences in step-by-step photographs, so you can see exactly what you should be doing. The second chapter contains a selection of simple designs, carefully selected and arranged so that you can practice your new skills. As well as featuring the standard diagrams, each model is shown in step-by-step photos, so you can see each folding stage in action. There is also a continuous sequence of photographs running along the bottom of the page that shows exactly what the model should look like at the end of each step--perfect for novice folders. The last chapter features a selection of slightly more challenging projects, created by contemporary origami designers. Again, the models have been carefully chosen to allow you to develop your folding abilities gradually. Key steps are illustrated with photos. By the time you have finished this book, you will have a solid grounding in origami techniques that will allow you to enjoy the wealth of origami designs that are now widely available--and perhaps even create your own

I am going to add some sheets of scrapbooking paper to this auction. It may not be Origami paper but you can use it to practice with.

How much of a bid are you looking for?

Nov 3rd, 2011 at 11:30:01 AM PDT by

It will go for what ever the high bid is when the time runs out. You just bid and hope to be the high bidder. My best advise is to start listing items and build up your credits and bid on the small items to start with. You will soon be hooked on this site.

I'm trying to when this for my family. I have been doing Origami for years and i even did a college project on it. It is awsome to learn and teach to pass down for years to come.

Best I can tell you is to bid and to watch for the last few minutes that is when you can grab a good deal. I wish you all the luck.
