Right now i'm really into Fuse's boxes and modular origami - any recommended books?
I'll try and track them down, thanks in advance!

You have Tomoko Fuse's books I take it?
I don't really have much to suggest.

I don't, i came across a model of hers in another book and did a google search, i really like her stuff

i notice she has lots of books on her boxes and wondered which would be the best one to get.

Hey,

Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations and Fabulous Origami Boxes are very very good books, and also easy to get in; shops or amazon.
If you live in London, or close to London, there is a great bookshop that has a great collection of books, and quite a few from Tomoko Fuse (http://www.bookendslondon.co.uk/).

The above two books are terrific suggestions.
Another book, really fun & interesting, would be Polyhedron Origami for beginners by Miyuki Kawamura. Excellent color graphics .

Or you could take a hint from what several of the big modular folders are doing, and switch to tessellations

Tomoko Fuse, Meenakshi Mukjeri, and Daniel Kwan all seem to be switching over to, or at least exploring, the field of origami tessellations.

I must admit i don't think i'm quite at the big modular folders stage yet

plus i really love making big balls of paper with points and flowers and all sorts of pretty things, as well as the joy of fitting them all together.
I've tried doing a 9 paper twist before and failed pretty badly, so i think i'll pace myself before i try them again!
