Au Pays des Mains Agiles, 1949 | |||||||
'Au
Pays des Mains Agiles' was published by Editions Fleurus
in Paris in 1949. As far as I know the original version
was anonymous, though at least one later edition showed
the author as Janine Boulanger. A full copy of an early edition can be viewed online at https://www.flickr.com/photos/taffeta/albums/72157613340184461 I have not included details of every design that involves some small element of paperfolding. ********** To Make a Set Square A simple way to make a set square from a strip of paper by folding around something you already know is a right angle. ********** Le Moulinet - The Cut and Fold Windmill
