Overall Impression

This is a showcase of Quentin Trollip original creations, putting his unique twists on common and less common themes. There are many origami horses out there, but none as detailed and interesting as his Clydesdale Horse! Trollip makes excellent use of both sides of the paper in most of his designs to bring interesting features to life. In one case, using paper striped on one side to create a pharaoh's head-cover. My personal favorites in this book are the humanoid masks, including a fantastic clown head and the best origami human skull I have folded. The variety of subjects, from fictional beings to detailed animal representation will provide challenge and enjoyment to complex folders.

As always with Passion Origami books, the production quality is top-notch, with excellent photos of all models and each creation comes with Trollip's notes about the design-process, paper size and color recommendations and suggested folding method.
