Product Description
This is a step by step how-to book for making modular origami models based on polyhedra. It seems like there are myriad modular origami designs out there these days; anything that joins goes. However, in this book, Meenakshi Mukerji's sixth, she still has much more to offer, with the designs presented some of her best yet. After a successful Exquisite Modular Origami, this second volume is a natural follow up. Handpicked by the author, the models are not only beautiful, but have been subjected to rigorous design criteria such as sturdiness of the locking mechanism, easy starting paper proportions, mostly squares, and absence of inserts or separate joining units. The aesthetic appeal lies in clean well defined lines.The designs are all-new and like before, works of three new, very creative guest artists have been included as well. In grayscale, the book is practically a bargain because it is as effective as folding from a color book. Color photos of most designs are on the cover for your viewing pleasure. Just when you think you are running out of satisfying modular origami to fold, here now you have dozens more exciting new ones to enjoy. Do visit the author’s popular website www.origamee.net for more ideas and color photos.
Customer Reviews
I am 50 years old. My mother spent many of her formative years living in Japan. I cannot remember a time when I did not use Origami the way kids now use "fidget spinners." Origami helped to keep me sane.With the advent of the internet, we all progressed a bit from basic cranes (I will never understate their importance, but they *are* basic) to what the masters are doing, and this progressed to a more thorough understanding for us all.The art moved from simple (or complex) animals and such, towards modular designs.I really embrace the process, but more importantly, so does NASA and Ikea.If you are playing with basic cranes, then you need to buy the first volume. The folds are easier, and the assembly is easier.This book moves a bit beyond.I would suggest a basic understanding of tesselations.I definitely like the links to websites and videos that will help you to learn the basics behind each model, but I fear they may become outdated over time. I can only hope that the editors help maintain/update the links as necessary.
