Robert J. Lang’s book organizes 37 paper-folding projects around step-by-step directions, more than 1,000 diagrams, and photographs of completed models. The selection ranges from a kangaroo, rocket, and King Tut bust to a dragonfly, dinosaur, and Pegasus, then introduces action folds that create moving elements such as flapping birds and rowing ships. An introductory history of origami, notes on tools and materials, and a guide to folding symbols provide context for the projects. The range of models and visual instructions makes the book a practical reference for exploring origami techniques at different levels of complexity.

Book overview

Hours of enjoyment await with this big book of origami fun. Whether you're an experienced paperfolder or you're just entering the origami world, you'll find 37 captivating models galore right here, in all their well-illustrated glory. Robert J. Lang, a veteran origami artist, accompanies his step-by-step directions with more than 1,000 detailed drawings, plus a photograph of the finished model.
Start with a kangaroo, a nun, a rocket, or a bust of King Tut. Advance to a dragonfly, a dinosaur, a winged Pegasus, or a cicada. By the end, you'll be making action folds -- models with moving parts that re-create flapping birds, rowing ships, and fiddling violinists. The author includes an introduction to the history of origami, plus helpful hints on tools and materials and a key to the folding symbols.
