Publisher's Note John Montroll & Robert J. Lang, two of the most creative American paper folders, have collaborated to produce a new, stunning book on origami sea creatures. Each project is accompanied with notes of the animal being represented. Contained in this 260 page book are directions for 38 sea creatures. These include sea shells, whales, crabs, & a variety of fishes. In between are to be found a cuttlefish, angelfish, lionfish, & fiddler crab, to name but a few of the unusual origami projects presented. The book is divided into several sections including frog metamorphosis, sea mammals, mollusks, fishes, echinoderms, & crustaceans. Modern advances in computer graphics have enabled the authors to create easy-to-follow directions for each model. The style of folding is that of the modern purist: every model is folded from one square sheet of paper with no cuts. Beginner & expert will find hours of creative fun in these pages. "Origami Sea Life" also includes a summary of the history of origami sea life. Information on types of paper & the technique of wet folding make this book indispensable for all those with an interest in paper folding.
