Tinyshiny Origami Bird Book Akiko Ishikawa

The TinyShiny Origami Bird Book. Twenty (20) hand-drawn, full-colour origami bird projects, with simple instructions that anyone can follow. Create elegant paper birds in hundreds of colours and patterns, using widely available origami paper. Fun for children and adults. Akiko Ishikawa has been making origami since she was a girl living in Tokyo. She has published many origami projects and articles about Japanese arts and crafts on the popular website TinyShiny.com. Many people in Japan love origami, from little children to old folks. These days, there are many different types of origami creation. Some of them are incredibly complicated to make, but I have always preferred simple origami designs. In this book, I will introduce you to some origami bird designs I like. My favourite origami bird is the Crane. It is a classic and very famous motif. I drew all the diagrams by hand and added simple instructions, easily understood by anyone. Even the beginner should have no trouble putting together these origami bird projects. My hope in making this book is that people of all ages can discover the joy of paper folding and the wonderful art of origami.
