OrigamiWreathsI was sent a copy of David PettysORIGAMI WREATHS AND RINGS(ISBN 0-9627254-1-2) by Laura LeeHayes of Zenagraph (designers offine origami paper and the bookspublisher). I had already purchased acopy for my collection just before Istarted putting the first issue ofScaffold together. The fact that Ibought it says that I like it.

This book focuses on

Wreaths. The crane wreaths manageto create the effect of a ring of cranes.Quite clever. The book teaches asimple unit and then shows multipleways for assembling differentcreations. The diagrams are quite clearand are drawn in black and white.Many of the models look differentlyon the back from the front anddrawings are provided of both sidesmaking proper assembly a sure thing.

Some of these rings havespikes. Some have points. Some aresmooth. All of them can be made intofabulously colorful creations. Thereare instructions for ways to nest therings to make even more intricatedesigns.

At the end of the book is asample math lesson by Gay MerrillGross for folding one of the stars.This is followed by some tips fromLaura Lee Hayes for teaching themath lesson.

If you like modulars,particularly flat ones that dont have alot of volume (like so many of thepolyhedra), and you like to hangdecorative things on walls and doors,then this book is for you. The book isnot marked for price, so prices mayvary depending on where you buy it.
