Paper cranes for the origami- challenged
This is a great book, especially if you have been challenged by origami in the past. I had tried to learn how to make cranes before, but ended up very frustrated and with balls of colorful paper instead of cranes! Tne diagrams made perfect sense to me, and I was able to learn to make cranes in no time.
