Extreme Origami: Transforming Dollar Bills into Priceless Works of Art - Hardcover

Won Park has taken the ancient art of origami to a whole new level. Using American currency, Park transforms dollar bills into creative works of art. He relies on the fibrous quality of the paper to fold, bend and twist hundreds of times per model without tearing. With no cutting and no pasting, Park is able to incorporate the details on the bills into his model designs. His signature koi fish is folded in such a way that the patterns on the dollar bill become the scales on the fish, and even the facial features fall in exactly the right place. His designs include a wide array of vehicles, animals and mythical creatures. In this book, step-by-step instructions are provided for 20 distinct models that are bound to challenge even the most proficient folders. All models can be made with either 1 or 2 dollar bills. 144 pages. More Info: RACE POINT PUBLISHING-Extreme Origami. Origami master Won Park uses U.S. dollars to create his amazing paper sculptures.
