This captivating book combines two enchanting traditions-the Japanese art of ikebana, or flower arrangement, and the ancient practice of origami, or paperfolding. With this well-illustrated guide, paperfolders can not only create their own blossoms but also make stems and leaves as well as vases for displaying the flowers. Perfect for both beginners and experts, this volume begins with a brief history of origami, explains the symbols used throughout the book, and introduces a variety of easy-to-fold models. Attractive origami figures include a six-petaled lily, iris, daffodil, and narcissus, a 16petaled chrysanthemum, a wheat stalk and an accordion-pleated leaf. Successive chapters present increasingly complex designs, some of which will challenge even longtime folders. Clear explanations and copious drawings accompany every model to ensure successful completion of each project.
