4.0 out of 5 stars Festive fun, February 23, 2002

By	zoomcity (Canton, MI) - See all my reviews

This book was my introduction to my current origami fascination. I wanted to make hearts for a work project, and I discovered a smorgasbord in this book.

There are several models a beginner can easily complete. Many other models are more challenging and suitable for the intermediate to advanced folder. The instructions are sometimes difficult to follow. I found looking ahead at the next steps and a stubborn determination to be successful very helpful. I also made a few "practice" models, to help me understand the diagrams and marked my book with personal notations for future reference.

This year, with some experience under my belt, I found making valentines to be easy and fun. This is a treasured and well-used book in my home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Origami Book, Doable for Most, July 14, 2000

By	Julia Starkey (Medford, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a really cute book that focuses exclusively on origami folds that create models with hearts. It's quite narrowly focused, but I found it quite enjoyable. The main flaw I found was that not all the models use standard square origami paper as their base. Of the models I attempted using square paper, I managed to make them all fairly sucessfully. If someone has done some folding before (perhaps has one of the Biddle's intro books under their belt) they should have no problem with this book. I reccomend it

I'm a low intermediate fan of origami.I've brought this book ,it has the best way in my opinion to show your love to those you care most about in a very unique way.Beware some diagrams are very time consuming and need concentration. A precious Investment for your personal origami library.
