Creative Origami Kit: Learn to Fold Like a Pro!: Instructional DVD, 64-Page Origami Book, 72 Origami Papers: Original Easy Origa

Description

Marc Kirschenbaum is one of the world's leading origami artists, and in Creative Origami Kit, he shares an array of impressive origami projects that can be folded in just a few minutes. Kirschenbaum's models look like complex constructions that would normally stump a beginner, but eight of these fifteen surprisingly simple creations follow the innovative "Pureland" origami system. Pioneered by English artist John Smith, Pureland origami uses only simple mountain and valley folds in order to make paper folding easier for beginners and impaired folders. Kirschenbaum draws much of his inspiration from the natural world and the result is an exciting collection of new models, such as: * Homage to Picasso * Pureland Platypus * Pureland Ship in a Bottle * Pureland Eagle * The Doctor's Dog Creative Origami Kit includes a 64-page book with detailed instructions for the fifteen new designs Kirschenbaum created specifically for this kit, as well as an instructional DVD and a set of seventy-two colorful origami sheets. Beginners and intermediate origami enthusiasts alike will adore every project in this master-folder's exciting new kit.
