I folded these during a 12hour flight to Cuba. Nice way to kill time, ha?













This one is a result of a little mistake! It's actually the same model as the red. I decided to use glue to secure the units, but on the second row I realized that I joined them wrong. And trying to unglue the glued parts the modules just opened up like flowers! >_<



And these are my future kusudamas! Units for 15 of them! Try to guess the names! :0)

Rose de Sahara by Miyuki Kawamura

Another model by Miyuki Kawamura. Very easy and it's joined without glue. I mean absolutely without glue! The flaps are big enough and the pockets hold the flaps really good.

30 units, paper size 7,5*7,5 cm

Twin boat by Tomoko Fuse

I found this model in Tanteidan Magazine 107. First I thought it was a Miyuki Kawamura's model. But was too easy to fold (that actually it's not a problem in Kawamura's models) and great to assemble (really strange for this author) that I started wondering about my new born inmunity for Kawamura's models!. Then comparing my model with the author's I noticed the real creator was Tomoko Fuse. Oops! A very nice polyhedron tough, highly recommended!

For this one I used origami paper size 5*5 cm, it's about 5 cm in diameter.

I enjoyed so much the proccess that I couldn't help but make another one. This time with paper size 7,5*7,5 cm.






I didn't know what to do with such a small thing (the first one), so I put it inside a Bila de la japonezi. A little bit fun, right?

Spring is in the air?

Kusudama Spring. Paper size 5,5*5,5 cm, about 10 cm in diameter.

Pair Blade by Miyuki Kawamura

I first saw this model at the Meenakshi Mukerji's gallery and it didn't impress me much. But few days ago I was surfing Flickr and I found this amazing model made by Déli, and I did absolutely fall for it.

30 units, paper size 7,5*7,5cm - about 15 cm in diameter. Easy to fold, all units are joined with glue.
