"Tomoko Fuse is considered a living master of modular and practical origami." --The New York Times
This incredible book by Tomoko Fuse, Japan's most famous living origami artist, shows you how to create dozens of amazing geometric kusudama spheres using many small paper squares that are folded then locked together (without the use of glue or tape) by the tension of the paper itself! She provides detailed step-by-step instructions for more than 40 wonderfully decorative models, including:- The skeletal Amaryllis and Unity models, whose delicate frames are filled with voids and openings
- The chunky Slash and Patchwork models, with their robust construction and strong lines
- The Twist Flower and Tornado--stylish models incorporating triangular color schemes
- Exquisitely frilly models, such as the Pomegranate and Iris, bristling with decorative flourishes
- The visually striking Spica and Dandelion, boasting spiky zig-zag cone-encrusted surfaces
- And so many more!
Tomoko Fuse's Amazing Kusudama Origami features over 650 folding diagrams with easy-to-follow instructions and photos showing you how to create each geometric model!
