Synopsis

"Origami Bonsai" is the art of folding beautiful paper flowers and leaves which are then glued to natural branches to create exquisite botanical sculptures. Whether the reader is a professional artist, craftsperson, or an origami hobbyist, "Origami Bonsai" will teach them the skills they can use to create these intricate and stunning artworks. The beauty of origami bonsai is that you don't have to be a professional artist or craftsman to create fantastic arrangements. With each page of the book readers will have the opportunity to create their own amazingly lifelike sculptures. Revolutionary approaches in this book include mass production of leaves, painting techniques, and depth enhancement. With each page turned, readers will make new discoveries that lead to wildly complex plant sculptures. Readers will be surprised at how easy these sculptures are to create, and how much they are appreciated by others.
