Floral Origami Globes

With step-by-step diagrams, detailed instructions and vibrant color photos, internationally-renowned origamist and author Tomoko Fuse offers an innovative approach to origami based on assembling separate, multi-dimensional shapes into a single spherical structure. Each step is illustrated clearly with diagrams that will enable anyone with even the most rudimentary skills to create over 100 intricate and fascinating shapes. Fuse also uses brilliantly colored and traditional Japanese floral papers that add to the beauty and elegance of the work.
