Reviews
I can't praise this book/set enough. The instructions are incredibly easy to follow, and they are almost all beginner-intermediate. Plus the book is huge so everything is nice and big and clearly shown. I've been doing origami for a number of years, and have done my share of complex "insane" models, but I prefer the simpler models that can be made for friends "on the spot." This book is extraordinary for anyone who wants to add beautiful, unique, yet simple models to their repetoir. I can't count how many people's days have been brightened at receiving a Unicorn from this book. Some of the models are extremely simple (Golden Goose), others somewhat tedious (Kraken), however the bulk of this book is beginner-intermediate, fun to fold, and wonderful for everyone. The Dragon is made from a basic Bird Base, and is excellent for a simple, elegant version of a Dragon that takes at most 5 minutes, (intermediate/expert folders read 2 minutes). The Griffon takes a bit longer, but is still easy and looks incredibly beautiful. The Unicorn is exquisite and realistic, yet easy to make, etc etc. I found the hardest one to be Cerberus, which took me about 10 minutes, but on the second go it took less than 5 and remains one of the neatest ideas I've seen in any book. The only drawback to this set is that the paper is very plain and limited in color, but for little cost one can find thousands of beautifully designed papers to really bring these to life. Nearly all of these models are "corners show," so I highly recommend "Harmony Paper". Don't miss this or any of LaFosse's books!
