The 2018 Origami Collection 1
Origami Basics 224About the
Origami Collection
The Origami Collection was born in 1980 from ideals
fostered by the founding members of OrigamiUSA, Michael
Shall (1949-1995) launched this yearly anthology to
share origami models from oround the world. His mentor,
Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1992), provided the
springboard for this effort, as many of the models were
drawn from her collection and connections she cubivated.
Alice Gray (1914-1994) also provided inspiration by
streamlining the communication of origami ideas. All ofthe
novice-level works in this collection are 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 to origami aficionados
of all levels and interests. Variety isa key criterion; you will
find works here by established origami arfsts as well as
many 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 as
‘we are in presenting them.Picture Index
