Make realistic and decorative paper flower arrangements with this
stunning origami book. The Japanese art of flower arranging is an
age-old practice that honors nature and creates beauty through
harmony and balance. This brand new book, Origami Ikebana, shows
you how to create unique ikebana-inspired paper flower arrangements
any time of the year. Since discovering ikebana some years ago,
origami artist and author Benjamin Coleman has worked on developing
techniques that enable him to create ikebana-style floral
arrangements with simple folded paper. In this book, Coleman
combines the principles and techniques of ikebana, origami and
makigami (paper rolling) to create beautiful and lifelike paper
flower arrangements. You'll learn how to construct stems from
paper-mache-like makigami rolls and cap them with exquisite folded
paper flowers and leaves, as well as how to display the
arrangements on stone-like bases made of paper. Topics covered in
this ground-breaking origami book include: Basic origami flower
folding and assembly techniques Painting the leaves and flowers to
enhance realism Using incremental leaf sizes for a greater sense of
depth Making stems using makigami paper rolling techniques Creating
"stone" bases for your arrangement from origami paper Dozens of
different origami flower arrangements are described in this book,
and the enclosed DVD contains detailed step-by-step video lessons
