Paper is a common material - we are surrounded by it in our daily lives, and most of us discard hundreds of pounds of it every year. It is prosaic and mundane. Yet, hidden within even the most humble scrap of newsprint, lie animals, birds, and flowers galore, all waiting for an appearance via just a few simple manipulations. The techniques by which paper may be transformed into marvellous creatures form the art of origami — just the first section in this wonderful collection of papercraft projects.

If you want to make an eskimo paddling in his kayak, a pop-up card to celebrate a twenty-first birthday an astronaut mask, some specially marbled paper; or a Noah's ark mobile, look no further. Each chapter starts with a detailed basics section explaining carefully each technique required for that particular craft and then there are numerous projects to choose from in order to practise and develop the techniques. Each project is divided into step-by-step text and there are numerous photographs and illustrations to clarify things still further.
