Читать книгу Travel Origami - Cindy Ng - Страница 5

Introduction

Shortly after my book Girligami was published, I traveled to Istanbul hoping for a creative and restorative getaway. Luckily for me, I came back with beautiful patterns, currency notes, and the idea for Travel Origami. With the new book idea not quite fully formed, I gathered all my souvenirs and naturally started folding them into origami. Sometimes the final result of the folding sequence didn’t have a name, but it was beautiful to look at. Some weren’t quite as aesthetically pleasing, but they were really useful. After making a couple of rings and abstract models with printed patterns, currency and paper bags, I realized my affinity for objects with dual functionality. With that in mind, I went off the beaten path and started creating origami models for Travel Origami.

I hope that Travel Origami will act as a catalyst for exploration and introduce to you my cheery origami world. You’ll discover maps that can be reworked into arrows and holders, currency that can be transformed to fun rings for your fingers, and bags that can magically morph into abstract infrastructures.

With just the right balance of patience and fun, Travelgami will give you something to really boast about when you have both a souvenir and a piece of beautiful origami art!
