4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely diagrammed flower folds with pretty results, May 17, 2004
This review is from: Origami Flowers: Popular Blossoms and Creative Bouquets (Paperback)
I am a long-time origami fan, though my skills are only intermediate. I had no problem with any of the diagrams in this book, but I would guess that it might be a bit intimidating to a beginner. The absolute beginner who is not familiar with origami diagrams might want to start with a "easy origami" book first which shows the standard fold symbols with step by step instructions. Still, the standard folding symbols are not hard to learn, and there are no complex folds in this book, so a beginner could probably figure it out from this book with some patience. It could use a bit more detail on assembling the flowers. There are lots of good closeup pictures of the finished flowers, and you can figure it out from those, but a walk through on the first flower of how it is done would have been nice.

The flowers are very detailed and nice looking when completed, and they are diagrammed clearly. I found no errors in the diagrams.

4.0 out of 5 stars Create beautiful lifelike flowers out of paper, June 26, 2003
By "krogers@jw.com" (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Origami Flowers: Popular Blossoms and Creative Bouquets (Paperback)
After finding the author's website where she displays dozens of pictures of amazing and beautiful floral arrangements from flowers in the book, I just had to buy it. I am very new to origami so I was pleasantly surprised to find I can create the majority of the flowers. With practice I think I can create all of them eventually. The tulips are quite easy and the carnations are easy and very lifelike. The Gerbera, Cosmos and a few others are a little more difficult as they require small folds with thick paper towards the end. The large majority of flowers require you to precut squares into pentagons, hexagons, or the 16 sided ones but detailed how to instructions are provided in the book. The roses, stock, cornflower and several other require more than 1 sheet of paper for the blossom. Most of the diagrams are pretty straight-forwarded. I've only been baffled by a few, but eventually worked it out. Templates are provided for the leaves. I would have liked to see more detailed instructions with gluing the calyx's on to the flowers, taping the wire and adding the leaves. A nice set of beautiful color photos are included in the beginning with close-ups which helps a lot with folding and assembling the flowers. All in all this book has definitely been worth my time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful results, if you can find out how to get there, June 5, 2005
By Michelle A. Lemire (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Origami Flowers: Popular Blossoms and Creative Bouquets (Paperback)
If you are fairly skilled at paper folding, then you'll probably enjoy the problem solving this book presents. The full color pictures at the beginning of the book are beautiful and detailed (which often helps when trying to figure out what the end product should look like).

However, This book is not for beginners. Page 33 may have definitions of Origami Symbols, but the page by page instructions are incomplete.

For example, the Dahlia on page 77. There are a couple missing steps between 10 and 11. To find the shape you want, the best example I can direct you to is the page 33 directions, row 4 where it says "Push inside and flatten." That's basically what you are doing to acheive the shape in step number 11.

Also, the page 34 "Basic Hexagon" instructions haven't worked very well for me. I went on line to a German origami site and found better instructions... even though I don't speak German.

All in all I am enjoying the book, and am not disappointed that I purchased it. It just gets frustrating on occasion, and I'm glad that I know enough about paper folding to be able to figure these things out.
