My Origami Balls

the newest addition, which took many days and many hours! a nicer photo and instructions here! or ask me for the microsoft, printer-friendly version :) i dunno why but it's got a boring name called sphere 94..i love the stars! it looks like a football! i wanted to kick it ard, but realise it's too fragile..*haha :p the book it's on is a book aptly called "in the eye of the beholder"..the 1st psychology book that i ever felt like reading, of my own accord..

hmm a colourful ball using store-bought origami paper..folded in a simpler way than the method i know..

its paler twin which i do not really like.. a beautiful kusudama - hmm not sure what it really means..but i read b4 that olden times, Japanese used to hang balls of herbs at the end of a sick person's bed, so that the person will recover faster. this is the oldest, it's been gathering dust in my display cabinets since 20?? my grandma loves this! she has one of them..though she wants two..well, it will have to wait.. this one is really quite difficult to fold and put together..requires sewing! oh, but i just a really pretty version of the small one at chinatown, gonna make one soon!

*realise that everything kinda has stars in it? the beauty of it all! :)

p/s photos taken with NEC N411i, testing the 1.3 megapixel camera, which is well, ok only..i want sony ericsson's k800i, with 3.2 megapixel camera! *whines*
