Origami Flowers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami Flowers (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. Folding directions weren'twell illustrated. No easily identifiable end result was shown. Veryfew flowers were included. And the layout of the book was difficult to follow. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you are highly skilled in Origami to begin with.

The worst pictures ever,
By Gagewyn (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Origami Flowers (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
What struck me most about Origami Flowers was the horrible quality of all photographs in the book. It looks like they were digitized at low resolution and then enlarged way more than possible. Instead of a picture you get several squares in varying shades of gray all arranged together. Darker squares near the center tell you that there would be a flower there if the editor had bothered to make it so.
The actual flower patterns are fine and the diagrams printed OK. The actual diagrams are terrible to follow. I am decent at origami and had trouble figuring out what I was supposed to do. I think they were trying to draw three dimensional diagrams, but had never heard of perspective. Another problem is that with only indistinct blobs where photos of the finished products should be you have fold the flower before you can see what it will look like. So you can't thumb through and find a design to use. I have always been a fan of Dover Books. I was shocked. What happened? How could this book ship looking like this? AVOID THIS BOOK BLANK PAPER IS WORTH MORE THIS BOOK IS POST CONSUMER WASTE

This book is a headache!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami Flowers (Dover Origami Papercraft) (Paperback)
This is a horrible book! The illustrations are cryptic and what little written instruction there is is poor. The entire book is in Black and White and makes it difficult to read the folding instructions. If you're looking for a fun and simple time creating origami flowers LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! This book is only filled with hours of frustration and headaches. I've been trying to fold the flowers in this book for a week and have yet to complete a single one!
