Between 4−5 stars rating, 25 August 2014Within a couple of days I folded over a dozen butterflies from the book. It meant less sleep than I need to stay sane, but one or two nights of that are okay. Anyone who's visited an origami convention can probably relate. And it was so immensely fun and energizing to fold those absolutely amazing butterflies.
Between 4−5 stars rating, 25 August 2014The book is a delight to look through – beautiful images of models made from hand-made paper and photographed in situ on a variety of gorgeous plants, colour artwork throughout, plenty of “white space” and a cover where the butterflies almost seem to be embossed on the paper. At 112 pages, it’s a significant book as well, with plenty of early pages devoted to the development of the design, its base architecture, wing styles and variations. This background adds immensely to the value of the book and is perhaps necessary where the contents could be seen from one perspective to be limited in range. LaFosse / Alexander combo continue to raise the bar for origami books and this is one you really should add to your collection.
Between 4−5 stars rating, 25 August 2014The combination of butterflies, origami and Michael LaFosse cannot be anything but magical. I guarantee that this book will enchant you.
Between 4−5 stars rating, 25 August 2014LaFosse and Alexander have built up an enviable reputation for producing top quality origami products, carefully and expertly crafted for folders of all levels. Their work is an inspiration.
