Imagine folding a piece of paper into nail clippers that really work, or a Swiss Army knife that actually opens, or a surfer on a wave that crashes when the surfer is slid forward...There's no need to imagine-this is for real!
In Origami to Astonish and Amuse Jeremy Shafer has taken the art of paper folding in an entirely new direction. Filled with hundreds of entertaining models and folding ideas, ranging from amazingly simple to ridiculously complex, this is origami at its most fun and creative.
Creative Book
| Customer Rating: | Origami to Astonish and Amuse is Jeremy Shafer's first and only book so far (as far as I know).
The models vary from the simple baby bird to the complex eight interlocking rings. There is even a model that is made from a t-shirt! It has clear and sometimes humorous diagrams and has a black and white picture for each model. Many of the models are action models and a few used for magic tricks. It also has crease patterns for models like the Flasher Supreme, Flasher Marble Maze, Dromenon Labyrinth, Walker, and even the famous Flasher Big Bang! It is really worth buying the book. Beginners and experts will enjoy folding the models in this great book. It is definitely 5 stars!!! |
A fun book!
| Customer Rating:  | | I love the sense of humor in Jeremy Shafer's creations. There's a nice range of models in here, from moderately accessible ones to the very difficult. When I got frustrated with one model, I put it down and just enjoyed reading the book. Jeremy's lighthearted jokes interspersed through the models made it fun. |
Origami to Astonish and Amuse
| Customer Rating: | | Truly astonishing and positively amusing. A fabulous use of an ancient technique. Pushing the limits to new heights. |
This book should be in every orgami collection
| Customer Rating: | This is one of the best books in my origami collection. The models are unique - buying this book is not another case of getting only 10% new models - they are all new and strangely enough, amusing!
I love that some of the models offer a lot of challenge, whereas others are easy to fold (you should see my invisible duck!)
Defiantly a book that should be in every origami enthusiasts collection. |
For the advanced origami enthusiast
| Customer Rating: | | This has to be the definitive book on really incredible origami. If you are a beginner, there are a few models in it you can do, but much of the content is fairly difficult, even for the experienced origami craftsperson. There are a number of models made from dollar bills, which is what I was looking for. What I didn't expect was the encyclopedic nature of the models. There is something there for everyone. The author has a pretty quirky sense of humor that one may or may not appreciate. He is definitely an artist in every sense of the word. |
