[Oa] My “Kirigami Kit” is finally available!

[Jeff Rutzky]

Dear origami, kirigami, origamic architecture, and paper engineering  
aficionados:

It’s finally here…my “Kirigami Kit” is available at bn.com, or at  
your friendly neighborhood Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

It features original designs from many of the world’s best paper  
engineers.

Look for Bekah & Eric Gjerde, Paul Jackson, Masahiro Chatani, Keiko  
Nakazawa, Ramin Razani, George Hart, René Bui, Chris Palmer, Jeff  
Cole, Christiane Bettens, Willem Boning, Tatyana Stolyarova, Peter  
Visser, Chris Hankinson, David Hathaway, Cindy Higham, Magdalena  
Jonikas, Pat Kelley, Beatriz Diaz Goodpasture, Kathy Monahan, Liz  
Peterson, Mark Hiner, and other traditional models.

Also included is artwork from world-renowned paper cutting artists  
including Ingrid Siliakus, Béatrice Coron, Joyce Aysta, Lucrezia  
Bieler, Anna Kronick, Fernando Sierra, Jen Stark, Florence Temko, and  
Steven R. Woodbury.

I don’t get any royalties…all of the budget went into printing a  
beautiful box & book (which I designed, of course) and 30 sheets of  
6" paper suitable for the traditional kirigami projects. BYOC: Bring  
your own card stock for the OA pieces.

I even admit in the author bio that I “cheated” a bit by using the  
Graphtec Craft ROBO to cut most of the work featured; however, I did  
score, fold, and glue (when required) everything by hand. Had I  
invented my double-sided scoring “secret method” using the Craft ROBO  
at the time, I could have eliminated countless hours of painstaking  
work. But I’m sure many of you will have a lot of fun with a good old- 
fashioned X-Acto knife or sharp scissors!

Yours in cutting and folding,

Jeff
