Review on LaFosse & Alexander's Origami Flowers Kit: Lifelike Paper Flowers to Enhance Your Life: Kit with Origami Book, 180 High-Quality Origami Papers, 20 Projects & DVD by Gelin Battle

I really like this book. I love the DVD tutorials that Mr. Lafosse includes in many of his books, they are very helpful. The flowers are new (to me at least) except for the ubiquitous lily - why include them? - He is everywhere, although he is always beautiful. The only thing that irritates me is the paper that came with it. These are common and actually not very good kami. I'm pretty sure this isn't the paper Mr. L used to present the models on the DVD. I'm not expecting him to send in the gorgeous papers he and Mr. Alexander make in their studio, but jeeeps, if you want to advertise that paper is included, give us a break and try to include something a little special. And a little clearer. The best models I've made from this book use different paper than the one included in the book. Overall, this is a fun book with lots of beautiful colors. Good presentation and helpful tips on the DVD (be sure to check it out as the book has a lot of useful information that isn't in the book). I'm almost ready to give 4 1/2 stars but I was put off by the mediocre paper when I expected more from Michael Lafosse. He's a good teacher. And the book is good. And I'm glad to have it.
