(Posted on behalf of Meenakshi Mukerji <[email protected]>) Hi,
Here is a toot. Recently Peter Engel wrote a wonderful Foreword for my latest book Wondrous One Sheet Origami. Although it did not make it to the first couple hundred prints, it is in the current prints. Please click the look inside feature on Amazon and turn to the first page of http://www.amazon.com/dp/1492785288 I am also quoting the Foreword below: "Meenakshi Mukerji is one of today’s masters of modular origami, geometric designs comprised of multiple folded pieces of paper assembled without glue. In her newest book, she brings her ingenuity and creativity to designs made from a single piece of paper. Among the most appealing aspects of this book is the way she subtly manipulates a purely geometric design to form a flower (including a beautiful 12-petaled Hollyhock), a leaf, a butterfly, or familiar symbols such as the four suits from a deck of cards. Although many of her designs are complex and three-dimensional, requiring an abundance of both patience and dexterity to fold, she provides crystal-clear diagrams with lucid text and doesn’t stint on providing perspective drawings (which are challenging and time-consuming to produce) when needed. In addition to presenting her own stunning designs, Mukerji offers up designs and biographies of three “guest folders” whose work is as stunning as her own. Of these designs, my favorite is the mind-boggling “Floral Perpetua,” which uses a recursive (self-repeating) folding process to mimic the concentric layers of petals in a blooming flower. It’s worth the price of admission all on its own. Like this spectacular model, Mukerji’s book yields riches in perpetuity!" --Peter Engel, author of Origami Odyssey: A Journey to the Edge of Paperfolding, 10-Fold Origami, and Folding the Universe: Origami from Angelfish to Zen As penance for tooting, here is my latest modular design that I named Centaury: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mmukhopadhyay/ Regards, Meenakshi __________________________________________________ My origami website http://www.origamee.net
