Fold paper into geometrical sculptures that move, spin and change
shape. This book by a long-time creator will appeal to enthusiasts
of mathematics and puzzles as well as fans of modular origami. Over
thirty elegant projects are absorbing to make and rewarding to
assemble - without glue or scissors. When finished, not only do the
projects please the eye and stimulate the imagination, they have a
bonus feature: they move, spin or change shape in unique and
fascinating ways. All in one place, fully diagrammed - clear
step-by-step instructions with thoughts behind the folds. Many have
been improved during years of experimentation and experiences of
making and teaching. "beautiful and elegant designs...immaculate
diagrams." British Origami Society "WXYZ model is so iconic...the
most elegant model in all of modular origami." trivialknot "his
modular creations are fine examples of original and economical
folding" David Petty, author of Origami A-B-C and Origami 1-2-3
Paper is amazing stuff. It's cheap, easy to use, and easy to
recycle. It's lightweight and easy to cut or tear--but incredibly
strong when folded, layered, or rolled. It can stand stiff as a
board, pop up like a spring, or hang softly like a silk scarf. It's
disposable, but it can last for centuries. Its surface can be
rough, or creamy smooth, or shiny. Sometimes it's so thin you can
see through it; other times, it's thick enough to hold globs of
paint. But it can also be beautiful, all on its own. The projects
in Paper Inventions were inspired by the many different varieties
of paper, from fancy artists' watercolor paper to recycled copy
paper, and the many different ways it is used. Whether you like to
make crafts or play with electronics, there's a project that will
challenge you and unleash your creativity. Projects in this book
include: DIY flavored edible paper and ink Paper sensors and
switches Paper windmill and paper machines 3D designs with paper
