From the queen of modular origami comes this collection of extraordinary models for folders of all skill levels. Tomoko Fuse's full-color guide shows how to join separately folded modules to create masterpieces of paper-folding art. The 20 projects range from the simplest, consisting only of two parts, to the most demanding, some of which feature 30 modules.

Illustrated directions accompany each of the figures, which are graded according to difficulty. The selections begin with easier models — including a square coaster, ninja star, and crown — and advance to slightly more complex projects — a flower with a stand, pleated and curled decorations, a crane, cubes, and a morning glory. The most sophisticated challenges include a pumpkin, a mosaic podium, a three-part triangular model, and the tetrahedron-and-octahedron combination called The Barber. Paper folders personal choices and combinations of colors will add individual flair to this stunning variety of models.

The full-color diagrams finally got me to attempt modular pieces I'd been intimidated by, and the way Fuse breaks down each connection step made the joinery click for me. I've already finished three models this week and my coffee table looks like a tiny art gallery.

I’m not a patient folder, but these modules click together so satisfyingly that I lost an entire afternoon to the first model. The full-color photos make it easy to see exactly where each crease should go, even for a beginner like me.

The step-by-step diagrams are so clear that my first modular piece came together without any frustration, and the full-color photos make it easy to see exactly where each fold should go. I’m already planning my next model from this collection.
