Step-by-Step Origami

A mix of traditional, non-traditional and some modular origami models with the content arranged according to origami bases. Origami bases are forms which are the starting point for a number of unique models. For instance, the bird base is the leaping off point for models including the flapping bird, the crane, the three pointed flower and even a teapot among many many others. Once you know some of the bases you can use them to invent your own models.

This book covers the pig base, the windmill base, the kite/diamond base, the fish base, the blintz base, the waterbomb base, the preliminary base, the frog base and the bird base and over 100 models that can be made from these bases. The models go from the very simple to more complex intermediate folder level models. There are models here to challenge and inspire beginner to intermediate folders, both children and adult.
