Product Description
Score the paper, cut, and fold; that’s gupit-gupit, the art of creating amazing three-dimensional sculptures. The name comes from Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines, and it means “cut cut.” Master Ben A. Gonzales, a native Filipino, illustrates all the techniques in this unique collection of paper animals—and both kids and adults will love constructing them. It’s easy: Each creature is made from a single sheet, directions are laid out in a straightforward manner, and large patterns proceed logically from simple forms to the more complicated. Choose from a butterfly, bear, kangaroo, swan, Tyrannosaurus rex, whale, and many others.

Paper, Scissors, Sculpt! has good pictures that you can trace onto paper which you can then cut, score and sculpt. The various shapes are rated from easy to more difficult, in that order, so that you can learn as you progress. The instructions are clear.
My 4-1/2 yr. old granddaughter was able to make a snake and a bat with little help from me. She was thrilled with the resulting snake (and added glittery eyes).
Though I haven't had time to make many of the animals I'm looking forward to working on the more advanced designs.

Paper, Scissors, Sculpt is an awesome book for all ages! It's way easier then origami and it takes almost no time at all. In this book, you can learn how to quickly make a snake that curls naturally or giraffe that actually supports itself...all with regular paper! Whats more, is that for each project you need no more than one piece of paper.
Anyone should seriously check out Ben A. Gonzales book for some amzing rainy-day (or any day) fun!

This book assumes you know nothing about sculpting. It is in larger print and clear diagrams for each step and technique. The basics are given along with a photograph of each tool, optional tools and supplies. The projects to make are in order of difficulty and rated with one to four stars. Several patterns range from a simple snake to a complex stegosaurus. Each page has a full scale pattern along with a picture of the finished sculpture followed by clear diagrams and instructions. This is great for kids and a classroom. There is a gallery of even harder ones pictured for those daring to create their own patterns and copy them on their own.
