Atsuko Takeo, a renowned instructor known for her origami brooch workshops, offers a fresh approach to folding: starting from a limited number of shapes and principles to create a multitude of paper jewelry and accessories.
Squares, octagons, hexagons, modules, tsumami zaiku-inspired flowers, small charms, or ribbon-shaped folds all serve as creative starting points. By playing with colors, patterns, element counts, and assembly techniques, a single structure can yield many distinct creations.

Origami Made to Be Worn
Here, folding doesn't stop at the finished model. The shapes are designed to become genuine decorative objects: a flower mounted on a pin, assembled modules, a hanging pendant, or a composition playing with paper patterns and colors.
The book's key strength lies in its focus on variation. Rather than introducing dozens of unrelated techniques, Atsuko Takeo shows how a few well-chosen structures can be transformed and combined. Changing the paper, color, size, or assembly method is all it takes to completely refresh the design.

An Ideal Book for Playing with Japanese Papers
The small formats and floral compositions in this book are perfect for using papers with varied patterns, textures, and colors. A single fold can look entirely different simply by picking another paper.
It is also a fantastic way to make use of small sheets or decorative paper scraps that you might otherwise hesitate to use on larger projects.
