Reviews for Origami Animal Sculpture: Paper Folding Inspired by Nature

In Origami Animal Sculpture, John Szinger illustrates the attention to detail that is the hallmark of his work. Szinger's interest in origami began when he started folding paper airplanes as a boy and he began diagramming his own models as a way to share his art with fellow paper folders. Trained as an engineer and software developer, Szinger incorporates alternate geometries, including one-fifth, one-sixth, and polar or rotational-based symmetries, into his work to create gorgeous models that are sure to delight any animal lover. --About.com Origami
