5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for experienced folders, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: African Animals in Origami (Paperback)

This was my first "intermediate" origami book. I really enjoyed the fact that the models are spread out over several different levels of difficulty. You can start out with the simpler animals and gradually advance to the more complex, ending with the hardest model in the book, a striped Zebra. It took me 4-5 hours to complete the zebra, but I am so proud of it! For anyone who has experience folding, this is a great book!

By A Customer

This review is from: African Animals in Origami (Paperback)

This is a great book for experienced folders. This one along with North American Animals makes a great pair. One thing I find missing in most reviews is the contents is so here it is. There are 24 models in African Animals in Origami and they are Grass, Tree, Sacred Ibis, Crowned Crane, Flamingo, Crocodile, Hippopotamus, Snake, Chameleon, Bee-Eater, Hoopoe, Hornbill, Gorilla, Chimpanzee, African Elephant, Ostrich, Vulture, Aardvark, Rhinoceros, Gazelle, Lion, Zebra, Giraffe, and Spotted Giraffe. Happy Folding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put a Zoo in your house!., April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: African Animals in Origami (Paperback)

This is a great book. All the models are clearly explained. And, although some projects seems very complex, the fine and good diagrams, leads you to achieve a great and vivid animal.
