Fantastic Origami Sea Creatures: 20 Incredible Paper Models - Hardcover

by Hisao Fukui (Author)

Dive under the sea with these realistic marine origami models

In Fantastic Origami Sea Creatures, Japanese origami expert Hisao Fukui shows you how to create incredibly detailed aquatic wildlife, including a giant squid, prehistoric creatures and even a massive blue whale calf

The step-by-step folding instructions and photos in this book present 20 challenging and amazingly lifelike models -- from intermediate to complex in terms of their level of difficulty.

The 20 projects in this book include:

• The Penguin -- A color-change model capturing the awkward and slightly comical appearance of these flightless aquatic birds
• The Polar Bear -- A menacing hunter who will hungrily stalk the edge of your desk or bookshelf
• The Goldfish -- This model features elegant lines and clever folding solutions -- and it's difficult to overfeed, to boot
• The Crocodile -- A lurking hunter which is ideal for showcasing special papers
• The Crab -- With all of the legs to define, this model is a challenging one, but with fewer pinch folds than you might expect
• The Manta Ray -- A graceful and gentle filter feeder whose sweeping wings give you the opportunity to create a truly expressive paper sculpture
• And many more
