The origami introduced in this book is based on simple techniques. Some were previously known by origami artists and some were discovered by the author. Curved-Folding Origami Design shows a way to explore new area of origami composed of curved folds. Each technique is introduced in a step-by-step fashion, followed by some beautiful artwork examples. A commentary explaining the theory behind the technique is placed at the end of each chapter.

Features

- Explains the techniques for designing curved-folding origami in seven chapters

- Contains many illustrations and photos (over 140 figures), with simple instructions

- Contains photos of 24 beautiful origami artworks, as well as their crease patterns

- Some basic theories behind the techniques are introduced
