Synopsis

Origami, or paperfolding, is a modern phenomenon with ancient roots. It is impossible to say when and where paper was first folded, or who it was that first discovered that paperfolding could be more than just a practical way to prevent furniture rocking. But what we do know is that today's paperfolders will happily fold virtually anything, anywhere: Paris Metro tickets, advertising flyers, teabag labels, business cards and so on. It is therefore not surprising that paperfolders should also have begun to explore the folding potential of that other modern phenomenon, the sticky note, which provides some unique design surprises of its own. As far as origami goes, there is, as this book shows, little that can not be done with sticky notes and a little ingenuity. The main limiting factor is the size of the notes, which militate against complexity. Consequently, the designs included in this book are necessarily simple, but this should be seen as a bonus rather than a disadvantage. And, as sticky notes are usually close at hand in offices, you should never find yourself with a dull moment at work again!
