Origami Ikebana

Get ready to explore the exciting world of origami floral art like it's never been seen before! The Japanese art of ikebana, or flower arranging, is an age-old practice that honors nature and creates beauty through harmony and balance. With Origami Ikebana, you can create beautiful ikebana-inspired paper flower arrangements at home at any time of the year.  In this book, Coleman teaches craft enthusiasts the basic principles and techniques of ikebana, origami and "makigami" (paper rolling) to create beautiful and lifelike paper flower sculptures. You'll learn to construct stems from paper-mache-like "makigami" rolls and cap them with exquisite origami flowers and leaves, then to support the arrangements on stone-like bases made from paper.
