World's Best Origami (book) Review and Giveaway! (CLOSED)


Have you ever made paper airplanes? If you have, then you’ve created origami, an ancient Japanese art form.

The first chapter covers the basics including papers, tips on proper folding, the different folds, making shapes, and other beginner information.

World's Best Origami is an amazing collection of more than 100 of the most unusual and best-loved origami patterns ever created. Expert origami artist Nick Robinson has collected traditional origami patterns as well as his own pieces and those from some of the greatest origami artists in the world- many in print here for the first time ever. The book contains more than 100 pieces-the most comprehensive origami book on the market. The projects in World's Best Origami are rated from beginner to advanced and include everything from boxes, containers, geometrics, and abstracts to figures, birds, animals, and flowers, and more-this unique volume has something for everyone at every skill level. Each diagram in World's Best Origami, clearly displays easy-to-understand instructions.

The author, Nick Robinson is a professional origami artist and author who has been folding paper for 25 years. A member of the British Origami Society who edits their magazine and maintains their website, Nick has written more than two dozen books on origami, as well as numerous articles, and done several commercial and charitable origami commissions involving origami and paper art over the last 20 years. Nick has created several hundred original designs and teaches origami in schools, arts centers, and many other venues.
