An odd little book. Some of the patterns given are origami, mostly pretty basic ones; the non-modular ones are all familiar to me from other sources. The modular ones are interesting, and I think quite doable, though the instructions and diagrams are a little confusing at times. She keeps re-defining mountain and valley folds with each pattern, not sure why. There are also several patterns that are _not_ origami - when scissors and glue get involved, it's papercraft but not origami. The woven basket, in particular, bothers me. Overall, it looks interesting and I want to work some of her patterns, but it's not really a great origami book.
