| Comments: |
Each unit in this model was created by folding a base component and a face component, then joining the face and base together with additional folds.
This technique allows for the use of two different types of paper in each unit, greatly expanding the variety of patterns and color combinations which can be achieved in the finished model.
Beads have been attached by sewing them through the structure with ribbon and a long or curved needle.
The large size of this model would make it quite striking as a decoration hung from the ceiling in a child's room or over the buffet table at a special party.
This kusudama earned a Blue Ribbon in the crafts competition at the 2019 Charlotte County State Fair in Florida.
