Have never done Origami…but my daughter has. Beautifl things & know she would love this book! 🙂
If I wasn’t so busy crocheting, I think Origami would be my second craft of choice! I need to do a bit of it – so beautiful! Thanks for the review.
Folding paper is so relaxing. I took an origami class when I was a kid and I have enjoyed it ever since! And now I love doing it with my kids. This looks like a fun book!
Love origami flowers. I want to try my hand at making them.
