Review copy provided by Tuttle Publishing LaFosse & Alexander’s Essential Book of Origami is kind of a hard book to review. It’s definitely an interesting book but what you get out of it will depend on what you’re looking for. This book is written by Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander. These two are…
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 2018 is the year of the dog so it’s a great opportunity to take a look at a bunch of awesome origami dogs. First up is this incredible doberman.

Disclaimer: Tuttle Publishing provided a free copy of this book for this review. I’ve always been a huge fan of Byriah Loper’s “mind-blowing” interlocking modular origami models.

After 3 years of work Nicolas Terry has finally released his new book Drawing Origami Tome 2. The book features an impressive collection of 33 models to fold ranging from fairly easy to pretty complex. I’d say most of the models in the book are around an intermediate skill level though.
