Editorial Reviews

"Marc Kirschenbaum has a knack for capturing the spirit of his origami subjects in just a few folds. You will come away from making his Ladybug, Panda, Parrot, and Snail, to name just a few of my favorites in this marvelous book, with a small treasure in your hands and delight in your heart." —Peter Engel, author of Origami Odyssey and Folding the Universe

"Hallmarks of Marc Kirschenbaum's origami are wit and ingenuity. Creative Origami is a wonderful collection of his original work, containing many gems for the paper folding enthusiast." —Michael LaFosse, award—winning origami artist

"A fun collection of simple—to—intermediate designs, with clear and colorful diagrams." —Robert Lang, award—winning origami artist

"There are many creators in the origami world, but few of these have a truly recognizable character in their work. Marc is an exception—his designs have a sense of fun, style and design that is uniquely his own. His work is carefully thought out, with few folds being left "to chance" and so with patience and a little practice, you will be able to make perfect examples." —Nick Robinson, award—winning origami artist

"Marc Kirschenbaum is known for his super—complex designs. This collection, however, features his much simpler, yet quite original, models. Many of the designs are 'pureland,' meaning they use only mountain and valley folds, hence quite approachable to beginners." —GiladOrigami.com
