Paper Magic

A flat piece of paper is one of the most readily available of art materials, and perhaps at first one of the least promising. This text outlines how to transform an ordinary piece of paper into different shapes and animals, stationary, decorations and gifts. The book shows how to master origami and paper designs which range from the simple to the more complex. Origami projects include simple modular and folded creations as well as more complex multiform and articulated three-dimensional models. The papercraft section includes ideas to make stylish gift tags and decorations, classical card and stationary holders, a dancing pierrot, paper flowers and a decoupage waste paper basket. With 60 projects in total this book offers a wealth of ideas on paper creations for all levels. The book also shows how to make origami animals, gifts, unusual greeting cards, gift wrappings and decorative objects.
