Creative Origami Ideas and Techniques #2

Creative Origami Ideas and Techniques #2
 

The great origami masters are not only capable of creating technical masterpieces, but also of generating a wealth of new ideas. 

In the first volume of this series, Fumiaki Kawahata gave us his tips, as origami professionals, for folding with precision, developing innovative folding sequences and creating his own models.

This second volume is structured around the theme of "ideas" as a starting point for creating origami. How do you get ideas for new models? How do you evolve your folds? Which features to keep, which to add? How do you assemble two models into one? 

A must for fans of Kawahata's models, as well as for those who want to learn the secrets of design.
