Unit Polyhedoron OrigamiWith step-by-step diagrams, detailed instructions and over 70 photographs in vibrant full-color, internationally-renowned origamist and author Tomoko Fuse offers an innovative approach to origami based on assembling separate, multi-dimensional shapes into one structure. Some of the shapes, like pyramids or four-sided boxes, are simple to master, even for a beginner. Others are quite complex and require much more experience and proficiency. Fuse uses a system to indicate the level of difficulty for each project with one, two or three stars, so the reader knows from the start, how challenging a project is likely to be. |
