I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but it is surprisingly thorough and greatly illustrated with step by step directions for not only building your own origami bonsai sculptures but also how to care for and ship them as gifts or to customers as you choose. It's one of the coolest books I've read on origami that provides a PRACTICAL application that melds two crafts together. There are advanced topics on scaling, selecting props and accessories and more. I love this book and highly recommend it to others.

This is by far one of my most loved books. I came across his etsy site first and ooohed and awed and even drooled some over his work. Then I saw he had released a book and I just had to own it. The book focuses more on technique and has very little in the way of diagrams, but that is what I loved most about this book. The author really took the time to explain how to become a successful origami bonsai folder. He chatters on about taking walks in the woods with his dog and finding inspiration in nature. I especially loved how he talks about painting paper and the steps to go through. I love to fold flowers and often times became frustrated with the paper because it simply didnt capture what I wanted it too. Now I look forward to painting my own. The book is very informative and has inspired me. I look forward to more releases from this author.

This book is very well designed, with a lot of helpfull schemes and images that make it very easy to understand the indications.

It cames with a DVD that shows detailled steps to make wonderfull origami bonsai.

The author really did a great work.

The patterns are pretty easy to follow and I love the beautiful picture guides! I'm using this book to help design the centerpieces for my wedding.

The Book arrived on time and in perfect condition. The content has everything I expected. Now I just have to find the perfect branches for my folded flowers.

this book has nice photographs for the step by step process in how to make origami bonsai. but it was a little to simple for me.
