Origami paperfolders from beginners to experts will delight in this extensive new collection from the authors of Essential Origami. The New Origami contains dozens of original projects that employ cutting-edge techniques, including: modular origami (using interlocking pieces of paper); performance origami (accompanied by a story or explanation); geometrical origami (illustrating principals of geometry); kasaneori or layered paperfolding (using overlapping layers to create "ribbons" of color); puzzle origami (featuring interchangeable parts that create a brain-teasing effect); practical origami (making useable objects like envelopes, frames, and wallets); multiple symmetry (sinking, pleating, and folding to create symmetrical patterns and shapes). Each technique is accompanied by easy-to-follow, two-color illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for beginners and collectors,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Origami: Dozens of Projects Using the Newest Kinds of Origami: Modular, Puzzle, Storytelling, Practical, Symmetrical, and Layered (Paperback)
This is a well-edited origami textbook. The two authors compile a handful of models, from easy-level to the complex-level. Models are carefully selected and most of them are beautiful but not familiar. In my opinion, this is THE BEST origami textbook to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for any origami beginner.,
By Rose (roise@usa.net) (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Origami: Dozens of Projects Using the Newest Kinds of Origami: Modular, Puzzle, Storytelling, Practical, Symmetrical, and Layered (Paperback)
As someone who's been folding for ten years, I was perhaps a little jaded when I first picked up this book. As a purist, I frowned a bit at the occasional design using more than one piece of paper, or involving cutting or glue. But for anyone who wants to get a start in the origami "business", this book is absolutely for you. Along with "Essential Origami" (one of my all-time favorite and most prized origami books), "New Origami" provides an excellent grounding in all the basics of classic folds, while reviewing and introducing newer techniques and ideas. Even if you're a jaded purist like myself, you'll find more than a few things in here to interest you. It's not perfect, but it comes very close.

The diagrams are extremely clear and the illustration of the hands position combined with the text, helps the creation of extraordinaary models. The Pterodont (seen in the cover) produces an amazing result. Just one advice: Use at least 9"x9" paper, so you can get the best effect from the claws. With a little patience and a few days, one can make a very cool mobile with pre-historic animals.
