During Golden Week 2007 we visited Kyoto. During our stay we went to one of the famous traditional "furoshiki" or cloth wrapping stores. The quality and colour of the material was amazing. We even got to see the furoshiki that Mick Jagger bought last year!

http://www.ungab.com/category/type/tu...
A video demonstrating how to turn a furoshiki (simple square of silk or other light weight and strong cloth) into a reusable grocery bag. This square of cloth can fold down small enough to fit into your pocket, but turn into a grocery bag twice as big as a standard bag, and much stronger.

How to make the Origami Rose


barbabellaatje | October 25, 2008
Instruction on how to make the origami rose. Only the boring pre-crease has been seriously sped-up. There are many instructions out there but this one includes 100% precreasing and the "paperclip cheat" which make creating the origami rose easier, but even so it is not for beginners... sorry! ;)

How to make a Cherry Blossom Ku-Kusudama


Finally completed this Ku-Kusudama (not developing a stutter here...). It was inspired on Ku-Ku's Cherry Blossom Dish ;-)
I soon discovered that 5-petal flowers make great dishes but are quite over stretched. As I wanted to make a dodecahedron (a 12 pentagon ball) (ku-)kusudama I needed a 5-fold so made it with 12 10-petal flowers. Also gluing them together worked out well, the tip of the petal is almost at the perfect angle (see vid!) to make a dodecahedron :-)
