Ingenious geometric models from Japan's leading
designer of polyhedral origami!
Origami Polyhedra for Beginners puts a new spin on the ancient art
of paper folding, opening the door to a world filled with beautiful geometric
shapes. In this book, Miyuki Kawamura, a master of polyhedral origami, shows
you how to create 55 different models using squares of brightly-colored paper.
Modular origami models are created using multiple sheets of paper that are
folded and then locked together without the use of glue or tape. Clear
step-by-step instructions for each model are provided. These amazing creations
will captivate everyone who sees them!
The models in this book are surprisingly easy to make, and include:
- Building
Blocks and Tiles which can be stacked and combined
- Striking
Pyramids, Cubes, Stars and Spheres
- Dramatic
polyhedral "Wireframes" and "Skeletons" with open
latticework
- Star-shaped
Icosahedrons that look like they belong on a Christmas tree
- Playful
