LaFosse & Alexander's Origami Flowers Kit: Lifelike Paper Flowers to Brighten Up Your Life: Kit with Origami Book, 180 Origami P

Description

What could be more beautiful than a colorful bouquet of artfully folded paper flowers? From the world-renowned studio of Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander, these new origami flower designs are as enchantingly complex as real blossoms. The best part is--they won't wilt after a week on your table! LaFosse and Alexander together founded Origamido Studio, a learning center and design studio specializing in exquisite handmade origami paper. This new collection of paper folding projects includes many innovative flower models.

Michael G. LaFosse has been an origami artist and teacher for decades, and co-curated the Origami Now! exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. The recent award-winning film Between the Folds by Vanessa Gould features LaFosse and his work prominently. Richard L. Alexander holds a degree from Cornell University in biology; he also studied landscape architecture and design. Together, Alexander and LaFosse have created dozens of origami exhibitions, and over 70 books, kits, and videos about papermaking and paper folding arts.

"There are some simple models but also more challenging, intermediate to lower end of advanced models, included in the book as well so it can attract large populations of origami enthusiasts. I very much enjoyed LaFosse & Alexander's Origami Flowers kit so far and look forward to fold more from it." --Yuki's Origami Blog "The boxed kit, published by Tuttle includes 180 folding papers, a full-color instructional booklet and DVD. You get 2 sizes of folding paper, 7 and 15 cm squares in purple, yellow, red, green, orange and pink solids. I love when everything is included! [...] I found the instructions very clear but if you get stuck just use the instructional DVD, it's very well done, you can go from project to project." --Handmade By Deb blog "Love flowers? Well, this book not only shows you how to create beautiful floral masterpieces out of paper but also supplies the colorful paper to make them with! LaFosse & Alexander's Origami Flowers Kit contains 180 sheets of origami paper along with a full-color 96-page instruction book and a 2 1/2 hour instructional video DVD! I love the colorful selection of flowers in this book. You can create beautiful paper folded greeting cards, gift boxes, bouquets and much more." --Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom blog
