have you wondered what happened to the kusudama i was working on? it was very pretty when i started.
this is not a very good photo,since the kusudama was roughly handled by a two and three year old. LOL.
this is what it looked like before (not so good) it met its untimely demise.:

my kiddies found it and mashed it. it is now dead.

now, the good stuff:

kusudama!
i made this today, using post-it notes! woohoo! using the instructions here:
the peace of paper - origami flowers-kusudama flowers link via curbly.com. the flower is a little shabby since it is my first. it wasn't behaving as i was glueing it together and kept popping open. my main mistake was using a gluestick which wasn't holding properly. you are supposed to using paper glue, like Elmer's or something.

then, i remembered i had liquid clear glue, but the applicator was broken and had a tendency to leak. i had to pour some out on a little jar lid and use a toothpick to apply the glue. this time it worked to stay.
i'm going to attempt an entire kusudama ball.
