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 60 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 Windmills, Water Wheels and many other Polyhedral "Kits"!
The sense of accomplishment and delight you will experience from completing these models is well worth the time and effort!
