Famous in Japan for his three-dimensional pop-up art, Seiji Tsukimoto teaches you to make 15 amazing globe-shaped, customisable paper forms using only cutting and folding -- and then shows you how to turn each into unique pieces, adding your own embellishments, decorations, or words. In this latest book in his "Wonderful Paper Spheres" series, Tsukimoto presents designs that draw on a variety of themes: Classic Children's Tales: Cinderella; Alice's Teatime. Holidays: Christmas; Easter. Special Celebrations: Birthdays; Weddings
and more! Each design folds down to a flat surface and, when pressed at both ends, shifts to a sphere that features images, messages, and intricate patterns. You will learn to assemble forms with 3, 6, 10, and 18 rings in five difficulty levels -- super novice, novice, intermediate, advanced, and advanced designs with doors. Once you've mastered the designs, use the ready-to-assemble templates to customise your own spherical pop-up forms. Then display your creations or present them to family and friends, who will enjoy and treasure your personalised creations for years to come.
Paper artist Seiji Tsukimoto focuses on designing new paper ideas and enjoys translating themes of children's classic stories, fairy tales, and folklore, drawing from his native Japanese and from Western cultures. Tsukimoto continues to search for and create new types of pop-up designs. He lives in Chiba, Japan.
