Review
"Robert Lang's remarkable origami creations are joined here by the delightful novelties of other contemporary designers, while traditional favorites find themselves varied and developed in unexpected ways. Origami in Action holds much folding pleasure for beginner and expert alike."--Sam Randlett

Other projects include: --Flapping Butterfly

ORIGAMI IN ACTION: PAPER TOYS THAT FLY, FLAP, GOBBLE,& EXPLO,
By Jeanette A Storaska (Northeastern, P.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Origami In Action (Paperback)
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR MY ONE NIECE, SHE HAS THE OTHER ONE BY: ROBERT J. LANG. THIS WAS WHAT SHE WANTED FOR EASTER. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS: FROM LISTENING TO HER, SHE HAS ALOT OF FUN WITH THE BOOK SHE HAS, THE PROJECTS ARE EASY, ALL YOU NEED IS PAPER. I THINK IT IS GREAT BECAUSE, A CHILD HAS TO USE THEIR MINDS, & NO BATTERIES, NOTHING TO PLUG IN, ONE OF THE FEW ITEMS OUT THERE, WHERE A CHILD CAN LET THEIR IMAGINATION GO WILD & THEY DO IT THEMSELVES.

Fascinating... but DEFINITELY not for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami In Action (Paperback)
If you're just starting out in origami, I really suggest averting from this book. No, really. Unless you start off taking origami very seriously and have your steel resolve handy, this book will only serve to discourage. There aren't a lot of easy designs in this volume, and there's plenty of designs towards the end that are obvious expert-level pieces. I'd go get a book that had a sizable section of traditional origami designs first, then I'd go pick a copy of this up. It's terribly fun once you have any idea what you're doing !

A good book, but I hope that this is not Lang's new style,

This review is from: Origami In Action (Paperback)
The challenge (and pro) in this book is that you can make the completed model "move" by pull or push the model. And it contains some wonderful models, like the boat rower and the guitarist. However there are too many easy models here, and most of them can be found in other origami books. It's a good idea to make the model come to live, but I'm afraid some quintessential qualities of origami will be lost. A new and good try, but I hope this isn't Lang's new style. From the very beginning Mr. Lang's models are always highly expected and appreciated and adored by folders around the world, and always a challenge. So,fold us more super complex models.....
