About The Origami Man I was first introduced to paper folding as a child since my father used to fold a fish head that would open and closed its mouth as you pulled open it's gills. But what got me really hooked was in about 4th grade, the school bully had made a flapping bird but wouldn't show me how to make it. Eventually I found the directions and diagrams and have probably made and given away 1000 flapping birds in the last 50 years.

The first Origami book I got was a used school book The Art of Origami by Robert Harbin. Now I have numerous origami books and a collection of other origami diagrams from the web and other sources. The last one I purchase was a used and discarded library book World of Origami by Isao Honda, one of the Japanese Master Origami folders.

Because the printed page is only 2 dimensional, sometimes it is hard to follow the directions for a model that is 3 dimensional. That is the reason for "Origami Live". Now you can see the model actually being made, and have the opportunity to watch it again if you don't quite understand the first time.

Included is the video instruction for over 20 items. One of those items included is one kind of rose. The directions I originally got fo making this rose included a small sheet of diagrams, but I defy nearly anyone to fold a rose from that sheet for the first time.

I believe that with the help of this video, that you can make a rose on your first try. It may take a little time, and you may need to see segments of the video more than once, but follow thruough and you will succeed.
