Origami for the Enthusiast presents 27 intricate paper animal projects, the original creations of John Montroll. Montroll’s reputation among paper folders has been growing since he showed a penchant for paperfolding at age six. Today he is considered one of the most original creators in this elegant Japanese art—and this is the first published collection of his extraordinary work.

For this second edition, the diagrams are computer generated and are easier to follow. A few models are added to this collection.

Animals can be among the most demanding subjects in the field. Montroll’s animal patterns are perhaps more rigorous than most, but the lucid, step-by-step instructions, illustrated every step of the way, enable the dedicated folder to learn advanced techniques. The animals are arranged in order of complexity, with some complex insects toward the end.

Instructions for the standard folds and a guide to the symbols pave the path to some of the most intriguing and enjoyable challenges in origami. This book offers intermediate and experienced folders the chance to exercise their skills on a large selection of beautiful, delicate designs.
