[Oa] Potential book titled "Kirigami"

[Jeff Rutzky]

Dear OA-ers:

Yes, I have a Kirigami Kit coming out in the Fall at Barnes & Noble  
Booksellers and bn.com

It runs the gamut from traditional snowflakes, papel picado, unique  
papercraft projects and, of course, OA!

Many of the projects shown here will be in the book: http://

Every major OA artist is represented, however, some, like Ingrid  
Siliakus and Joyce Aysta, just have artwork shown since their  
patterns are beyond the scope of a beginner's book. Many minor  
artists contributed projects as well, and you will recognize most of  
the names if you've surfed Evermore's exhaustive list.

I wish I had room for a dozen more artists I discovered, but maybe  
that will be in another book someday.

The Kit will be only $9.95 and include 30 sheets of origami paper for  
traditional kirigami, but it's BYOC (bring your own cardstock).

Thanks so much for asking Ken!

Jeff Rutzky

P.S. One of my best "folding friends," Eric Gjerde, runs the http:// 
www.OrigamiTessellations.com site. He and his wife are project  
contributors. Bekah Gjerde is an amazing kirigamist herself!
