This book shows how to use a combination of origami and kirigami to make 38 charming animals. It includes amazing projects that range from sheep and ostriches to dragons and pandas. It provides full-size templates, which can be photocopied for multiple uses. In origami, a flat piece of paper is folded to create a dimensional object. Similarly, in traditional Japanese kirigami, paper is folded, cut and unfolded to reveal complex patterns - like a paper snowflake. Here, author Hiroshi Hayakawa has ingeniously combined these two techniques to create a charming menagerie of 38 animals, from flocks of sheep and swirling dragons to stampeding ostriches and pandas in a bamboo grove. Full-size templates are provided to photocopy onto the card stock of your choice. This book introduces each project with a humorous limerick and supported by colourful, modern photography.
