At last - the book we've all be waiting for! January 17, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
If - like me - you have long waited for a book that tells you how to make origami jewellery this is it. Look no further. You will not be disappointed.
At long last; would give it a "10" if I could. November 9, 2007

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I enjoy origami, but have run out of uses for it. I've done the cards, the gift wrap boxes, quilt squares etc. but I kept thinking that it would do well for jewelry. I might have given it a try myself by now, except that I'm inordinately lazy and have had little time until recently to devote to the project.
Ayako Brodek's book Origami Jewelry came out this year (copyright 2007) and just in time for Christmas gifts, so I've started studying the book for materials list and techniques.
Those who have done origami before will recognize the folds and joining techniques; they're the standard ones found in most books on the topic. Those who have done jewelry making will recognize the findings and their individual uses from their craft as well.
For me, the important information in this case was on finishing techniques that make the paper stable enough for wear, and on the problems one might encounter when taking ideas from one craft into another. In the latter case the fact that some origami papers do not hold up well with surfacing materials.
Definitely something nice to do for holiday giving. In fact, an excellant book to give at the holiday.
