The best signal for me being in love with a book? I can't seem to stop folding, even if it means getting less sleep than is probably good for me. ;)

I love Michael LaFosse's butterflies, because the designs are exquisite, but also because they are the perfect models for showing off the beauty of paper. This is why I've been folding butterflies from different types of paper. I wanted to see what effect each paper brought to the butterflies. Today I went with iridescent paper.

Paper: two 15cm squares of iridescent paper (orange/red, blue/lilac)

Two days I received my copy of Michael LaFosse's Origami Butterflies - a completely new presentation of Michael LaFosse's superb butterfly system. On the same day I had a look through the book, and importantly the two accompanying DVDs. I watched the intro by Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander - so great to see this extra personal touch - as well the instructional video on "A Butterfly for Eric Joisel". Just as expected, the presentation is of extremely high quality.
