This is a wonderful book which teaches you how to make paper flowers. Notice how I say "paper flowers" and not "origami flowers". This is because the flowers made in this book utilize many tools which most origami artists do not consider apart of traditional origami. These include scissors, glue, markers, pinking scissors, paint, and artificial stamens (for center of flowers). Indeed, Soonboke Smith does not stop there: many of the flowers in this book are not made from a single sheet of square paper: some use multiple sheets of paper while others are made with triangles, pentagons, or circles. For those who are interested in embarking on this journey, get out your arts & crafts box because you will also need need floral tape and floral wire. Beware pure origami artists! For those who are pure origami artists, the ample use of glue may be unforgiveable. Similarly, many of these origami flowers look amazing because of the strategic use of colored patterned paper |
