Hello ALL!
We'd like to share our latest publication news with you all.
We just released our new book 'Origami Magic Ball Wonders' we were
working hard last 6 months! Started this project in 2012, but put it
away due to other origami commitments at that time. So, all in all, not
counting time on designing the models, it'll be almost a year of work
involved with diagramming, photographing, layouting etc.
In this book we show how to make one of our popular designs, 'Magic
Ball' aka 'Dragon's Egg' and a dazzling array of its numerous versions
from one-piece to multi-piece spheres as well as marvelous related
designs that prominently display this Magic Ball pattern.
With the designer's secrets revealed in the book it's never been so easy
to make the Magic Ball / Dragon's Egg that possesses the magical feel of
transformation with its organic texture and highly flexible shape! Also
discover the original design that was created in two versions - one
using glue and the other using hidden paper locks, no glue.
The book starts with various one-piece Magic Balls and then presents
diverse multi-piece Magic Ball designs with an impressive array of
versions, including the Spyro Magic Ball, Zebra Magic Ball and Yin-Yang
Dragon's Eggs. The modular approach allows you to play with many aspects
from color combinations to mixing folding patterns. Inverse forms and
intricate Shape Shifters demonstrate some unusual designs like Magic
Metaballs!
The final part of the book offers related Magic Ball designs: Decorative
Stars, including a fun action model - the Rotating Star, the Fir Tree,
fantastic Magic Hot Air Balloons and the adorable Mini Foldingburg Castle!
There are 740 detailed step-by-step colorful vector- and photo-diagrams
with thorough written instructions and 300+ photos of examples of
completed projects that will guide an origami enthusiast through folding
the 33 original origami designs plus numerous variations and ideas! The
designs are high-intermediate to complex level of folding and are a good
challenge for the novice folder as well as an enjoyable experience for
the expert.
