I am not an expert and do not pretend to be one. Always take my personal opinions with a healthy dose of skepticism. Keep in mind when reading the reviews that I am a well-practiced novice - I know the basics, but have never taken a deeper dive into more sophisticated folding, despite a desire evidenced by the many books on the subject that have accumulated over the years in my library. All pages will open separately so that you won't lose your place in the main bibliography. Any of these pages will be easily notable as there should be a picture to the right of the entry instead of in the left-hand column. You would have to search any of those pages separately for specific models. There will be exceptions, as some designers will end up with their own pages(anyone with 10 or more publishing credits), and things like dollar bill folding and tea bag or napkin folding will have dedicated pages, etc. By doing this, we will have a searchable document(this page) that you can use to find specific models. Because it is more likely that origamists are looking for a specific model, I'm going to list the models in the book I'm reviewing in the stub on this page as well as providing the Table of Contents in the review. ![]() I look forward to building this catalog into something everyone can use to find the folded paper art they were looking for. I don't have nearly as many origami books as I should have, compared to my enthusiasm for the craft, but all of my bibliographies started humbly, with just what was on mine or my mother's shelves. I'm a big fan of clever, and origami is CLEVER, and beautiful, and can be practical/useful as well(cups are very handy things to have around). My first Christmas tree away from home was decorated with these balls folded out of recycled wrapping papers. Once folded, you could inflate it like a balloon by blowing into it. To this day, I make butterflies out of candy wrappers out of habit, and I know I will always have a cup handy if there is a sheet of paper around, but my favorite from the book was a ball. ![]() It looked interesting, so I checked it out and experimented with it. I was browsing our school library and ran across a book with folded paper figures on the cover. I first encountered origami when I was nine. ORIGAMI & KIRIGAMI BOOK BIBLIOGRAPHY (last updated: April, 2022) ![]() “Having the butterflies on display means the world to me and it makes me feel so happy that something I have created is having a positive effect on others, even after my stay," Alicia said.įancy getting creative? Learn how to create your own beautiful butterly with Alicia's tutorial video.ORIGAMI & KIRIGAMI BIBLIOGRAPHY RETURN TO HOME PAGE / Much to Alicia’s delight, the 965 butterflies now adorn the walls of the air lock entrance to the North Wing of the unit, and advanced recreation officer Adam Le Fay has even made a “Where’s Wally”- like search game within the display. Those moments made my day each time knowing someone else had a moment of happiness made me deeply happy.”Īlicia shared the joy of origami with staff and other consumers, who regularly requested ‘custom folds’ and origami lessons and said everyone was amazed at how simple it was to be able to create something so beautiful. “Every single day, someone different would walk into my room, be it a patient or a nurse or doctor, and they would look around with an a-gasp expression and say "WOW!". “Making the butterflies opened the door for communication and interesting conversations,” Alicia said. The project not only helped keep Alicia’s mind occupied, but also helped her make connections with other consumers. “I decided that since I had made so many butterflies, a mural on my walls would be something beautiful to wake up to in the morning, and something beautiful for other patients to see when they walked past my room,” she said. However, the unit’s staff inspired her to redirect her focus on ‘grey days’ and so the kaleidoscope of butterflies began. The white walls of the Princess Alexandra Hospital’s North Wing have been transformed into an interactive art experience, thanks to former consumer Alicia Wright.Īlicia unlocked her creative side during a recent stay at the unit, creating hundreds of origami butterflies, which she said helped her through some tough moments of her healing journey.Īlicia admitted that at the start of her stay, she was reluctant to engage with any of the recreational activities on offer at the unit - including origami- despite being aware of the strong link between the creative arts and improving mental health.
