Fold decorative origami objects out of cloth with this easy-to-use
origami book. Fabrigami is the Asian art of folding fabrics to
create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the
whimsical. Like paper, there are countless beautiful fabric designs
to choose from, but only fabric has the virtue of being extremely
durable. Fabrigami began as origami legend Florence Temko's final
project. Everyone knows that origami is the art of paper folding,
but Temko had begun experimenting with folding fabric to make
objects that are just as beautiful but more lasting than paper.
Sadly, Temko passed away before the book was completed, but her
collaborator, Jill Stovall, continued their work. Now,
Stovall--with the help of Scott Stern, a rising young star of
origami--brings Fabrigami to print for everyone to use and enjoy.
This origami book begins by presenting instructions on how to treat
fabric, so it holds a shape when folded. Then Stovall shares a
series of fun craft projects with simple origami-style diagrams
that you can use to make a range of lovely objects. Stiffening the
fabric requires some practice, but the folds are all easy enough to
be considered origami-for-kids projects and are a great way to
learn origami. Cloth origami projects include: Fan-tastic Fold
Earrings Evening Wine Coat Florence's Hexagon Box Cloth Kimono Card
Pleated Peacock

soon Alice is battling to save herself from the nightmare that is

something...wonderful. Are you ready to join Jonathan Green and Kev
Crossley and go back down the rabbit-hole?
