Hi all Last week I came across a beautifully produced, albeit a tad costly, origami book, Paper Home (ISBN 9781910904329) by Esther Thorpe. It showcases beautifully make origami for home decorating, suing sensational paper and gorgeous photography. However, I cannot recommend it for novice folders - I really found the photo 'diagrams' really hard to follow, particularly as the patterned paper used made it hard to see any folds or paper edges - and I reckon I'm not exactly a novice folder. Esther also uses her own terminology, which I found confusing. My other gripe is that not a single model is attributed, even though I know they are not all traditional. In summary, a stunningly beautiful book that presents origami as a great home decorating product, but poorly executed, and may well lead to more frustrated novice folders who give up way too early.
Cheers Clare, Perth
