5.0 out of 5 stars Geometric Origami or Slice-Form Pop-Ups, August 13, 2006

This review is from: Geometric Origami (Paperback)

With the exception of five loop or coil pop-ups, this book, by the creator of Geometric Architecture Masahiro Chatani, contains patterns/templates to make geometric three dimensional objects by fitting together slices of paper with slots in them. Sandy Jackson, the founder of Some Assembly Required, calls this process Slice-Form Pop-Ups. When collapsed the objects behave exactly as do 90 degree pop-ups and take on two dimensional forms.

Anyone interested in geometric models of cubes, tetrahedrons, hemispheres, eggs, a Snow House and a model of Suzhou Prince Regent's Palace should have this book in their collection.

This book is really good, it shows the basics and some really neat projects. Pop-ups are a really fun things to do and it isn't a very expensive hobby!!
