5.0 out of 5 stars Really Difficult but cool models, Aug 23 2002
By 
G. Powell (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Origami Insects (Paperback)
I aspire to be able to fold these models well. They are so cool, the ant has a segmented body, 6 legs, mandlibles and not a single cut in the single sheet of paper.

Get large sheets of good quality paper to start with. (The origami USA carries it) And take your time, breath deeply and try again. After all it's only paper. The results will amaze and astound your friends.

(Rating scale is 4 for difficulty but it really should be 5 or 6, on the "Montrol" model scale)

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is GREAT!!!, April 3 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami Insects (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite origami books ever. I love the models in this book such as the Samurai Helmet Beetle, Satg Beetle, and Scorpion. If you aren't an experienced folder than don't even think about buying it. But if you are than buy it, though don't forget that it is a very challenging book. I have had this book for one year and have never gotten bored. And yes I am 11 and yet I can fold some of the most complex models published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, July 14 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Origami Insects (Paperback)
An awesome book! Contains some of the most beautiful folds I know, as well as some of the hardest. Here's what you get:

1. Treehopper: A rather simple bug, good introduction to the book.

2. Spotted Ladybug: An AWESOME exploration of color-contrast! Looks great when folded from the right paper even though it is not 3D.

3. Orb Weaver: What should I say, well it's a spider...

4. Tarantula: Another spider but with ten legs. If you do it right it looks much like the real thing.

5. Tick: This comes as a hungry and a sated tick. Easy to fold and looks good.

6. Ant: This is absolutely my favourite origami model! The ant is so awesome, I can't find words for it. You just have to fold it to believe it plus it's pretty easy to fold too.

7. Butterfly: Well folks that's a real butterfly with legs and it's really hard to fold.

8. Scarab Beetle: Egyptian bug.

9. Cicada: Looks GREAT when folded well but is probably the hardest model in the book.

10. Grasshopper: Green, long legs.

11. Black Pine Sawyer: Has really long antennae and looks really cool.

12. Dragonfly: Not very realistic, has a "cartoon" style look.

13. Hercules Beetle: A fat bug that looks good when folded well.

14. Long-Necked Seed Bug: I had never heard of this bug before. Doesn't look bad though.

15. Pill Bug: Not easy to fold but a great-looking and unique model.

16. Praying Mantis: Very hard.

17. Stag Beetle: Good looking and fairy easy.

18. Paper Wasp: Requires you to do something I would have thought impossible before reading this book. Extremely hard.

19. Samurai Helmet Beetle: Beautiful model but hard to fold.

20. Scorpion: Comes out pretty thick but can look nice too.

After all, a great book, if you are an advanced folder buy it!
