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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique boxes for any occasion, August 8, 1999
This review is from: Paper Boxes (Make It With Paper) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book on learning to make your own beautiful & unique boxes. By varying the paper & decorative elements a stunning variety of boxes can be made based on few basic designs.

The step-by-step instructions are very easy to follow. Both photographs & illustrations guide you smoothly through the box making process. Tips on construction & presentation for each box are also included.

There are eight box types demonstrated. Included are triangle, cube, frame, magician, puzzle, heart, lotus, & a matchbox. For each one there is a one-page gallery of different design ideas.

In the back there are templates for each box. It even includes paper elements you can tear out and use. I put a picture in a frame box with a pin inside & gave it to my mother for her birthday; she was delighted.
