Kusudama in progress

I love kusudamas! Back home in San Diego, I used to collect college ad magazines just to make kusudamas with. When I went to Davis, I didn't bring any with me though, so I stopped making them for a while. But one day, I was cleaning my room and thinking about how bored I was, when BAM! something caught my eye: an old StaTravel booklet! My first thought was "KUSUDAMAS!" :D So, obviously, I started making kusudamas! Turns out the paper is the perfect texture and colors (it's from a travel book, after all!). Here's some pics of my first two completed flowers: 

Aren't they pretty? :D If you'd like to make your own, here's a link to my absolute favorite kusudama site: http://foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-1/ They just have the most gorgeous tutorials!
