Geometric techniques for designing original origami presented in easily-vizualized concepts; instructions for 25 figures, including the famous Black Forest Cuckoo Clock.
I consider this work to be my magnum opus; more than just a collection of instructions, it teaches the underlying concepts of origami and how you can create your own original origami designs. It also contains instructions for 25 figures ranging from simple to super-complex, including the famous Black Forest Cuckoo Clock, opus 182.

Comments: This was for a time my most well-known composition and the most complex origami figures around. My first cuckoo clock was fairly plain; my second (unpublished) one was composed after a vist to the Black Forest. For the third design, I came up with this figure, composed and folded in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
