Birthday treats - Kusudama Fairy

Kusudama Fairy is written for my good friend Lay Suan, who has the same birth day as me. I always find it very interesting how we became friends under the circumstances we met. We share a lot of similar opinions, e.g. we both usually count down to our birthdays, and that this year, we both didn't really. Anyway, she makes kusudama as gifts and gave me this kusudama.


Kusudama is well explained in wiki here.

The Japanese kusudama (薬玉; lit. medicine ball) is a paper model that is usually (although not always) created by sewing multiple identical pyramidal units (usually stylized flowers folded from square paper) together through their points to form a spherical shape.

Paperunlimited features many pretty kusudamas, and this post in particular features a similar one from the one I received, saying that it's a traditional kusudama. Which fits the story well.

Mio TSUGAWA’s site, features many diagrams and how tos. I find the following important points to improve skills of folding very good. It makes me want to seriously pick up origami.

# Get the skills of deception.To do origami is continuation to make a margin of errors.To pretend that works are beautiful is important skills.
# Don't be much serious.
# If when you will complete the work, you must show it off to everybody, be proud of it , and boast about it.

Also, a lucid dream is when one is aware of being in a dream.
