Michael Shall (1949-1995) launched this yearly anthology to share origami models from around the world. His mentor. Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1992), provided the springboard for this effort, as many of the models were drawn from her collection ond connections she cultivated. Alice Gray (1914-1994) also provided inspiration by streamlining the communication of origami ideos. All of the novice-level works in this collection ore dedicated to Alice and her love of simple. elegant pieces Throughout the years as our presentation has grown more polished, the goal of showcasing great origami has not diminished. The editors of the Origami Collection spend many hours curating, testing and editing origami designs to produce a book that will appeal 10 origami aficionados of all levels and interests. Variety is « key criterion: you will find works here by established origami artists os well as mony hidden gems from up-and-coming stars. Most of the pieces are making their debut in these pages. We hope you are as excited about discovering these diagrams os wwe are in presenting them.Picture Index Aguilera, Juan Orchid Page Alanya, Ares Kiton Page 3 Arellano, Sebastian Dragon Page 9 Biernacki, Artur Koala Page 24 Brabec, Charles Begging Doxie Page 32 Casey, Steven Jerboa Page 36 Chen.
