The origami introduced in this book is based on simple techniques. Some were previously known by origami artists and some were discovered by the author. Curved-Folding Origami Design shows a way to explore new area of origami composed of curved folds. Each technique is introduced in a step-by-step fashion, followed by some beautiful artwork examples. A commentary explaining the theory behind the technique is placed at the end of each chapter.

Features

Explains the techniques for designing curved-folding origami in seven chapters

Contains many illustrations and photos (over 140 figures), with simple instructions

Contains photos of 24 beautiful origami artworks, as well as their crease patterns

Some basic theories behind the techniques are introduced
