Art of Tangerine

There is a only one tangerine, but the animal pops out !!!

It is a book that tells a variety of ways of being an artist. This book, which was first published in Japan in 2010, is on top of the Japanese Amazon hobby field in winter. It is a tangerine peel with with a way to make 25 animals such as rabbits, horses, dogs, and dragons, as well as peeling tangerine peels.

We can pick any level of the animals. The easiest level one star to the most difficult level 5 star.

Today, We are going to make horse - 2 star.

It's quite difficult to explain with words only. You better look the photos very carefully. It helps you understand very well.
