Origami Inside-Out par John Montroll
The theme of this book is models that take advantage of origami paper that is white on one side and coloured on the other to create a two-coloured effect.
Join origami expert John Montroll on a fascinating and fun-filled paper folding safari! Over 1,200 clear and easy-to-follow diagrams guide paper folders step-by-step in the creation of 24 African animals: lion, elephant, crocodile, gorilla, rhinoceros, gazelle, flamingo and more.
I received this e-book ARC through Net Galley from Dover Publications in exchange for a truthful review.
The models are presented with step-by-step instructions (typical origami folding instruction symbols are explained) and in order of difficulty, from simple to intermediate to complex.
I don't think a true beginner would be able to easily follow the patterns, even the simplest ones. But with some careful studying of the origami folding legend, the instructions become easier to decipher.
There are some really interesting animal (and dinosaur!) patterns to make out of dollar bills (or dollar bill sized paper).
Only weirdness was that, in a book of ANIMALS in origami, the first model is for a sailboat:-)… (plus d'informations)

Origami is so hot right now, and we have had a lot of origami programs at the library. Every week, people ask where our origami section is, and sometimes we talk about different techniques and projects. I have not seen a Dog Origami book yet, and this one looks great!
The explanations of different folds and techniques are well illustrated and precise. There are patterns for many different breeds of dogs, some of which MIGHT be able to be used for multiple dog breeds (English Foxhound, Bernese Mountain Dog, Field Spaniel) and some that are def a specific breed (Dachshund, Corgi, Giant Schnauzer).
There are many steps to each pattern, so this might be challenging for beginners. The book is suitable for beginners, though, because of the descriptive directions and illustrations.
The only negative is, well I have pugs, and there was no pug pattern. It might be that there is no way to make a pug pattern for origami, but I was still disappointed. Or, perhaps they will have a second book with additional breeds. There are hundreds of dog breeds, and only about 30ish featured in this book. So I am hoping for a book 2 (at least).
We certainly need this in our library system. It would also be a great gift book, along with a stack of origami paper.
Highly Recommended.
