Fantastic application of OrigamiBy Andrew DavidsonI wasnt sure what to expect from this book but it is surprisingly thorough and greatly illustrated with step by step directions for not only building your own origami bonsai sculptures but also how to care for and ship them as gifts or to customers as you choose. Its one of the coolest books Ive read on origami that provides a PRACTICAL application that melds two crafts together. There are advanced topics on scaling; selecting props and accessories and more. I love this book and highly recommend it to others.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful book well worth every cent of its cost.By ChuckWhat a beautiful book. Its hard to say which book I love more. "Origami Ikebana" or this one. The directions are clear and concise. The book itself is printed on high quality paper and has beautiful photographs and illustrations. Mr. Coleman is a generous writer who shares years of experience with those of us new to this art form. I thank my Dear One for giving both books to me as a gift every time I read them.

I like it and will follow some parts. Other parts; not.
