SUMMARY- There are several folds here I love - particularly the Pixie Boots(you can see them on the cover in yellow), his French Fry Boat, and his Envelope(you secure the fold with the stamp!). I like practical origami models that I can use in daily life. My life changed when I learned to fold a simple cup. They can hold seeds, beads, cough drops(so they don't get sticky and linty from being in the bottom of my tote bags) and you can write on the outside of them, fold one of the last flaps over and tuck it in to seal the contents into the cup - he gives that exact same traditional pattern in this book as well. It was like running into an old friend.
