Origami enthusiasts who have mastered basic paper folds will want to try some of the more intriguing projects in this book, such as a pecking hen or an assortment of paper airplanes. In addition, there are directions for folded boxes, greetings cards, and envelopes. Each step-by-step project is well illustrated with line drawings and color photographs of the finished item and is rated at one of three levels of difficulty. A good selection for public library crafts collections. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
