I bought this book a year ago by Tomoko Fuse (布施 知子) called "Kusudama Origami - Hanakiriko" (くす玉おりがみ - 花切子). I can read what the Japanese says, but I don't know what it means! Fortunately, the book uses diagrams rather than explanations to construct models, hence why I bought it. Some of the models are pretty …

Rosebud and calyx kusudama
I'm part of a group on Facebook called "Origami Kids" (the group is open so anyone can view it) where people post their creations and/or tutorials on a regular basis. Quite a while ago, I came across a post about a rosebud and calyx tutorial (the tutorial creator and the person who designed the model can …

3D origami swan pot
My second semester finished on Friday, and now finally I can get back to updating my blog! Sorry for the severe lack of inactivity here. ._. This particular project was started back in the first semester, when I had bought a large pack of white paper. I started making 3D units for the heck of …
Yet another Valentine’s day
I got back from home just yesterday. For this year, I only made a simple card. It's a small square card with a colourful dotted pattern and an origami heart on the front. I like putting ribbon bows on my cards a lot, it's a little habit of mine, haha. I need to get yet …
More origami stars
Star paper is another thing you can stack up on. If you were dedicated, you could probably cut your own star paper using a cutting mat, but due to the size of it, I find it quite tedious. I prefer to buy the packs from shops. You can usually find them as Asian specialist stores. …
Rainbow flower vase
It's been almost two weeks since I moved into my uni room in Birmingham, and I've quickly gotten used to the routine now. I get up early every day, make lunch and then leave to catch the train in New Street. (I live off campus, sad life but at least I'm close to the Bullring!) …
Red and pink Sato rose bouquet
A bouquet of Sato pentagon roses in mixed colours.
Blue kusudama flower bouquet
One of the loveliest things I've ever made. I hope to make more of these bouquets. They are most commonly used as bridal bouquets and for special occasions, but I made one because I wanted to, not because I have any upcoming occasions of my own. It would be nice for a DIY wedding and …
Mini shelf of origami-filled jars
When I was in Cambridge, I came across a small fabric and haberdashery store called CallyCo. I wonder if many people knew about it? Since further along the street and in the more populated area is a Cath Kidston store, a very well-known store for cute items and sewing materials. I liked visiting both stores …
