From the world-renowned studio of Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander, these new origami flower designs are as enchantingly complex as real blossoms. The best part is they won't wilt after a week on your table!
LaFosse and Alexander together founded Origamido Studio, a learning center and design studio specializing in exquisite handmade origami paper. This new collection of paper folding projects includes many innovative flower models.

Industry Reviews
"The video instructions are well explained, and in conjunction with the book will teach you how to do origami. The models are well chosen too. The flowers can be used as ornaments or gifts." --Don't Eat The Paste blog
"There is a nice balance of easy, intermediate and harder models in this book [...] I have read numerous origami books and folded hundreds of flowers, so it was nice to see some original designs. The quality of the book itself is pretty high, it's a soft cover, but the simply stapled spine makes it easy to open the book without it flipping closed. The pages are modern satin, thin but sturdy. The colors and the photos are high quality and pretty. The size is about A5, which makes it easy to handle, and cute!" --Paper Kawaii blog
"There are some simple models but also more challenging, intermediate to lower end of advanced models, included in the book as well so it can attract large populations of origami enthusiasts. I very much enjoyed LaFosse & Alexander's Origami Flowers kit so far and look forward to fold more from it." --Yuki's Origami Blog
"The boxed kit, published by Tuttle includes 180 folding papers, a full-color instructional booklet and DVD. You get 2 sizes of folding paper, 7 and 15 cm squares in purple, yellow, red, green, orange and pink solids. I love when everything is included! [...] I found the instructions very clear but if you get stuck just use the instructional DVD, it's very well done, you can go from project to project." --Handmade By Deb blog
"A great kit for both newcomers to origami or for anyone who'd like to fold some nice flower designs!" --Gilad's Origami Page
"Full marks for the content of the book and DVD. This box set is prime gift material." --The Paper Craft Post blog
"Origami teachers LaFosse and Alexander's kit contains 180 sheets of origami paper, a comprehensive instruction booklet with diagrams, and a DVD showing the variety of techniques used to execute intricate designs."--Travel Life magazine
