Editorial Reviews

"Origami Roses is a lovely book full of exciting techniques, best suited for those experienced in paper folding." —Foreword Magazine

"This is a really clever origami guide to making different kinds of flowers. Each design is so lovely! They look surprisingly realistic and so ornate in their details, with their organic, overlapping petals. The book is well-written with concise descriptions, nice photos, and clear illustrations, which are helpful. The book is targeting more advanced origamists, though the very clear instructions will help anyone interested to find success." — CraftsR.Us blog
