Just wondering: it's wonderful and all, but how do you make the clover part? It adds a nice simple touch to the kusudama as a whole, to contrast the complexity.

Good question! I think diagrams for the clover can also be found in "Origami Kusudama" by Tomoko Fuse, but will look that up. I remember it's pretty simple to fold, though.

Beautiful! How do you make those four leaf clovers?

The diagrams for the clover are also in "Origami Kusudama" by Tomoko Fuse, but I tweaked them a bit so that I would get a four-leaf clover instead of a three-leaf with stem.

Thank you as well and no problem!

I think it was something along the lines of the 4 leaf, by a very smart person. I do not take any credit in designing the origami. [link]

The kusudama is a ball made out of lots of identical origami modules and either glued or strung together. They were traditionally used as a ball for incense actually, and are usually quite floral in appearance.

It's VERY complicated and just difficult technically, I'm hoping to finish it by the end of the summer...<3

Awesome!!! Love it, I think you need like 30 modules no? is like 60 pieces of paper?
12 hours of folding, that's awesome, 7.5*7.5, must be pretty big the final model... yeah i recognized the pieces when i saw the other photo, i think you really liked tomoko fuse work no?

You need 18 flowers only, actually, so 36 pieces of paper. They are quite time-consuming modules however.
Thank you! I bought the Tomoko Fuse book with lots of kusudamas in and I can't wait to try more of them!

Just 18?
i tought it was more... cool then... yeah to spend 12 hours in 18 modules i think is kida difficult, the longest time i have spend in a modular is like 7-8 hours or something, and was like 30 modules...
You are welcome, i knew you would like her... she is amazing!
Keep taking shots of all those awesome kusudamas.. ill fav them all!

Thank you! Like a lot of kusudamas, all the separate modules are threaded together with string to form a ball shape.

Loved it! How do you learn how to make these origamis/kusudamas? ^^

Thank you!
Usually, I browse the internet to find models I want to try and then I find the books which contain the diagrams and instructions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! xD
I browse the internet too. But sometimes it's difficult to do the origamis...
I think I need more practice ^^"
I've tried to find books but I have no luck >< Or they are too expensive...
I'll search more on the internet! Thanks!

Sorry for/about( ? sorry again >< my english is a little rusty. lol) the late! Can you do that? *.* I accept the link to tutorial videos, I think it's easier when we see the person doing the origami ^^ Don't need to be a lot of links. ^^" Thanks for helping! I really appreciate it. Love your work!

A neater one?! How can it possibly get any neater?
This is amazing. I really like the way you've used the colours quite liberally, almost.. they complement each other effectively, and I think it's fitting you've caught the main subject matter against the background there. The square format is great in making it seem quite compacted and... yeah, I don't think we fully get the measurement of this, if that makes sense? I mean, we have no clue whether this is massive, or whether this is quite small...
Still quite interesting, nevertheless.

(LOTS of ways, the photo is small so you can't see all the flaws...
Hmm we had a bit of this conversation before, no? It's quite difficult to find a way to photo my origami so that we get the full impact of its size...still haven't figured it out.
Thank you, dear!
