Origami paperfolders from beginners to experts will delight in this extensive new collection from the authors of Essential Origami. The New Origami contains dozens of original projects that employ cutting-edge techniques, including: modular origami (using interlocking pieces of paper); performance origami (accompanied by a story or explanation); geometrical origami (illustrating principals of geometry); kasaneori or layered paperfolding (using overlapping layers to create "ribbons" of color); puzzle origami (featuring interchangeable parts that create a brain-teasing effect); practical origami (making useable objects like envelopes, frames, and wallets); multiple symmetry (sinking, pleating, and folding to create symmetrical patterns and shapes). Each technique is accompanied by easy-to-follow, two-color illustrations.

The materials to make 20 layered cards are provided in this book, along with full instructions and color photographs of the finished work. The art papers provided include floral, oriental, and vintage designs as well as solid colors for making silhouettes, and all the cards are made by affixing paper cutouts to create a raised effect. Alternative designs are also suggested, using the same methods but with different papers and embellishments.
