About the Author
Michael G. LaFosse, origami artist and papermaker, has been practicing the art of paper folding for more than 25 years. He teaches, designs, and works as a consultant to museums and schools. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States. LaFosse's interest in paper folding began at the age of 7. At the age of 12, he was inspired to begin creating his own original designs after seeing the extraordinary origami art of Japanese master Akira Yoshizawa. He has since had the opportunity to visit Japan and study with Yoshizawa.
Origami designs by LaFosse have been featured in books, film, and computer programs, and in designer displays at Symphony Hall in Boston and at SAKS Fifth Avenue in New York. His original designs for this series blend origami, paper construction, and special folding techniques to produce elegant results. Through workshops, videos, and finding new venues for showing his work, LaFosse is bringing the ancient art of origami to a widening audience.

An alternative to Origami Animals,
This review is from: Paper Animals (Make It With Paper) (Paperback)
Skill Level: Simple to IntermediateThis is not a book on origami animals but it is definitely on making paper animals. Look at the picture on the cover of the book and you will know which of the 8 animals are. The rest of the book consists of templates you can use. Look closely at the fish or koi. It is so realistic! The lizard can be called an action model since its body and legs can be moved realistically like a lizard. Only the bat is an origami bat but it is a compound model and again origami purist might not like it. It makes no difference to me since I first learned my origami models from Isao Honda's book. I have a few books on this kind of paper craft and this book is among the best.
