Fabrigami: The Origami Art of Folding Cloth to Create Decorative and Useful Objects (Furoshiki - The Japanese Art of Wrapping)

Autor Jill Stovall, Scott Wasserman Stern, Florence Temko
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2016
Discover the origami art of folding cloth to create decorative and useful objects!

Fabrigami is the Asian art of folding fabrics to create three-dimensional objects ranging from the practical to the whimsical. Like paper, there are countless beautiful fabric designs to choose from, but only fabric has the virtue of being extremely durable.

This origami book begins by presenting instructions on how to treat fabric, so it holds a shape when folded. Then author Stovall shares a series of fun craft projects with simple origami-style diagrams that you can use to make a range of lovely objects. Stiffening the fabric requires some practice, but the folds are all easy enough to be considered origami-for-kids projects and are a great way to learn origami.

Cloth origami projects range from fabrigami sculptures you can use or wear, to household decorations and elegantly wrapped gifts, such as:
  • Fan-tastic Fold Earrings
  • Evening Wine Coat
  • Florence's Hexagon Box
  • Cloth Kimono Card
  • Pleated Peacock

Recenzii

"The difference between this book and the traditional origami book is that the projects use stiffened fabric instead of paper. It is definitely more long lasting than using paper, and a great idea for coordinating your home decor!" —JapaneseSewingBooks blog

"Japanese, "ori" means fold and "gami," paper. The authors craft a new word for the use of fabric as a take on the classic Japanese art of folding paper into delicate shapes. Stovall and Stern, mentored in the art by the late Temko, author of more than 50 DIY craft guides, take the reader from plain fabric to 3D gift with complete instructions from stiffening to making the final folds. With the right fabric of interest, it could be worth the labor to produce a billfold for a dear friend or the classic origami bird of peace for the Yule tree." —PW Daily

"[…] the project collection here is really diverse and interesting. […] There are 31 projects in all, and many of them would make great stocking-stuffer-type gifties for the holidays. The book itself, of course, is a nice gift for fabric and origami-lovers." —b>CraftyPod blog
