kusudama

actually, before pulling out big old sewing machine before christmas i got into 5 paper squares into a flower, then gluing 12 flowers together to form a ball. the picture shows the 4 half-balls. unfortunately, i forgot to take pictures of the finished balls before they went off as presents for my aunt and grandma. i had to think a little extra about who to give these to, as, well… it’s quite a bit of work…
