Encyclopedia of Origami and Papercraft

Venturing far beyond traditional origami, this "encyclopedia" offers a full scope of ideas for this versatile medium. Part One explains step-by-step techniques for origami, pop-ups, paper sculpture, papier-mâché, papermaking, decoupage, model making, quilling, and weaving. Part Two is a gallery of spectacular artwork by a multitude of paper artists employing various techniques, from complicated origami animals to elaborate woven shapes to intricate cut-paper "paintings" to room-size paper architecture bordering on sculptural furniture. A beginner should achieve some degree of success with the majority of the techniques, though many appear to require practice before the elaborate level of artistry evident in the beautiful color photos can be reached. Still, just browsing through the artists\' gallery should prove inspirational.
