Michael Lafosse’s Origami Butterflies

A beautiful full-color, full-sized book of butterflies. The book starts with several interesting articles on the authors, paper selection, uses for folded models, and Michael LaFosse’s butterfly design system. There are models for 26 exquisite butterflies, several of them published for the first time. Each model is folded from a single, uncut square, and includes a short paragraph and a haiku about the person the butterfly is named after. Included are two DVDs showing Michael teaching every model and demonstrating wet-folding techniques. Clear diagrams with text explanations and full-color photos of finished models, mostly folded from duo papers, but some photos show butterflies folded from candy wrappers, currency, mosaic foil, and hand-made papers. 112 pp. Includes 2 DVDs.
