<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Modular origami is the latest craze in paper folding!</b> <p/>These three-dimensional models are created from many small pieces of paper that are easily folded and then cleverly fit together to form a spectacular shape. They range from paper polyhedra to bristling buckyballs that are reminiscent of sea urchins--to ornate flower-like spheres. <p/>Each piece of paper is held by the tension of the other papers--demonstrating the remarkable hidden properties of paper, which is at the same time flexible but also durable! <p/>Author Byriah Loper has been creating modular origami sculptures for just five years, but in that time, he's pushed the upper limits of the art form with some of the most significant, most complex geometric paper constructions ever assembled. While many geo-modular origami artists focus on creating dense floral spheres, Byriah has pioneered the open, linear wire frame approach, which results in a very complex-looking model that reveals the interior of its form. He regularly exhibits his sculptures annually at the Origami USA convention in New York and was recently a featured artist at the Surface to Structure exhibition at the Cooper Union gallery in the East Village. <p/>A great way to learn origami, the easy-to-follow diagrams and step-by-step instructions in this book show you how to fold the paper components and then assemble them to create 22 incredible models. Each model is a new challenge, and the paper sculptures you create look fantastic on your desk or shelf!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...a must-have for low intermediate to complex folders for its uniqueness, easy-to-understand directions, visual clarity, and creative mind-blowingness. --<b>Origami USA's <i>The Paper</i></b><br><br><i>Mind Blowing Modular Origami</i> is definitely one of the most interesting origami books I've ever seen and I'd highly recommend it. --<b><i>Origami.me</i> blog</b><br><br>It was soothing to fold each unit repetitively, and it was also a fun challenge to tackle the assembling, sort of like working on a puzzle...I recommend this book to any origami enthusiasts, but especially those who enjoy modular origami! --<b><i>Yuki's Origami</i> blog</b><br><br>Loper's models take patience, persistence, and skill, and are best suited to experienced origami artists who are looking for a unique and eye-catching challenge. --<b><i>Library Journal</i></b><br><br>Paper-folding enthusiasts and math fans will likely find this book a welcome challenge... --<b><i>Booklist</i></b><br><br>This book has easy to follow instructions to make some amazing polyhedra origami projects. --<b><i>Crafty Moms Share</i> blog</b><br><br>This book lives up to its title--and is ideal for those who are up for a fascinating origami challenge.
