Book Reviews of Kusudama Origami
Book Review: Pretty Xmas Origami
Summary: 4 Stars
I became the shipment very quickly. I like this book, because the instructions are short and clear.Book Review: Really Interesting and good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book very recently and found that the instructions are easy to follow and the patterns / designs are really pretty. All you need is a little patience! This book does not require you to be a "pro" at folding, and people who have just taken up this hobby and are familiar with the types of bases / folds, can do it too. It shows how to make dice, lantern and rhombic assemblies along with more creative designs like floral patterns and the sea urchin. Even though these designs require the use of glue / string to keep the object together, this is a 'must have' book for people who love making kusudama.Book Review: Very Cool!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 16-year-old daughter loves origami and is presently making an origami bouquet of 24 flowers from this book. Just know that this is fairly advanced origami. One flower takes her about 15 minutes, and then the flowers will have to be put together with string!Book Review: Very informative, and easy to follow.
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually first got this book just to marvel at the amazing origami designs; I thought they looked way to complicated for me to actually make. However, when I took a closer look at the steps for each design I realised that they were really quite simple, and very easy to follow.
These are some of the best, most accurate, and well explained instructions for origami that I have come across. At first glance, the book's instruction pages are rather boring, with all the pictures done in a single plain colour. However, the clarity of the instructions more than makes up for this.
The book also includes several glossy pages of colour photographs of 'finished products', so that you can see what your origami is going to turn out like. This also helps to give you an idea about what coloured papers might look good.
As well as the instructions for a large number of origami designs, the book also includes quite a few small variations on each design, so that you can customise your origami to your liking. These variations are also well explained, and are summarised in a useful table towards the end of the book, so that you can scan all the variations at once, and pick and choose which ones you like.
This is a great book, and I've found it to be very addictive - I want to try out all the different designs, and all the variations on those designs as well.
