The Sweet Spring Kusudama is a very simple but very elegant looking origami kusudama, designed by Natalia Romanenko. Each unit is a combination of 2 or 3 smaller modules. Why do I say 2 or 3? Because, while the instructions I found...

A very happy New Year 2019! Hope this year bring joy and peace to every one of you 🎉🎉 This recent pair of origami that I made - Daniel Reutskiy's kusudama - is very special for me. For one, it was decided and planned completely...
Daniel Reutskiy's modular origami, folded from 30 modules is one that I absolutely enjoyed folding! But more than the origami itself, what pleased me the most was the colour combination that I have used in the origami....
