Extreme Origami

by Kunihiko Kasahara

Explore the far edges of what’s possible with “the new origami.” The objects are fantastic, but the folding techniques use simple triangles and squares, pyramids, and cubes. Master spiral designs, multi-pointed stars, 9-sided gift boxes, and 12-sided gyroscopic whirligigs. More elaborate designs invite you into the outer-space world of stars with starbeams and 8-sided flying saucers, whimsical crows in the grass, gorgeous nested boxes, and sculptured gift containers.

Inspiring to origami fans that are looking to take their folding beyond the basics. The author encourages exploration by providing basic instruction on a technique and pictures of other ideas with instructions “deliberately not given” (pg20 - Greek soccer ball).
