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. And for added
whimsy, readers can download a fence pattern or textured patterns at
www.larkbooks.com. Each project is introduced with a humorous limerick and
supported by colorful, modern photography.
The 3-dimensional
kirigami animals in this book look complex but are deceptively simple to
construct. Photocopy the full-sized templates onto cardstock; embellish them
with textured patterns; score, cut and fold the shape; and interlock the joints
to hold the animal together.
