Modified Kawasaki Rose Wreath # 4 : Jupiter in Spring

This is a late White Day gift for my dear best friend. It's been kind of a tradition for me to give her something I made for White Day on March 14 since our uni era ^^
I failed to give her something last year because I didn't have any idea what to make for her. But this year, I gave her this :

Jupiter in Spring

The Butterflies

The Ribbon

My friend thought that the title's pretty lame but she knows the reason behind that title well XD

So that's all for my 4 season modified Kawasaki rose projects. I'm so glad that I could completely finished them all. I'll see you again in my next project (^o^)/

Modified Kawasaki Rose Wreath # 3 : Fall's Sunset

This one was given to my other cousin for her birthday. But I couldn't send this in time because of my brother laziness (-____- #)

Modified Kawasaki Rose Wreath # 1 : Summer's Valentine

Actually this project has been done months ago. It's just that my lazy brother kept on pending to take the picture of them (-___- #)

I got the idea for this project was because I want to make something for Valentine. Actually I wanted to make the advanced type of the rose but I failed to make it for days! o(_ _)o
Then I decide to make the intermediate rose model which I've already 'mastered'. Here's the 1st one :

The Butterflies

The Ribbon

It's currently hanging in front my room's door :


I made everything for this project from papers. Even the base of the wreath and the ribbon made from paper.

The instruction for making the rose can be found >> HERE <<

At first I only thought to make this. But after it finished, I got the feeling that I wanted to make this kind of project in 4 season theme (yes, I know I'm insane! XD )
I'll show the rest of them in the next posts.

Shikishi Board Flower Origami - Spring Sakura

Recently I'm addicted to make flower origami. I found an e-book about flower origami which are arranged on a shikishi board then I got interested in making them.

Shikishi board is made from fine handmade art papers laminated to hard board backing. they are edged with a strip of gold paper on the border and back.
Unfortunately shikishi boards can hardly be found at my area so I made them myself from duplex cardboard paper. In that case I'll be able to make any kind of shikishi board flower origami that I want.. v(^o^)v

Here are my first origami work for this kind. I meant to make them for spring so I chose 2 kind of Sakura (Cherry Blossom) flower origami.

The 1st one is regular sakura branches :

Zoomed in

2 colored of Sakura flowers and 2 types of Sakura bud

Falling Sakura petals

Butterfly

I've decided to attach my favorite Swallowtail Butterfly every time I made flower-like origami, so I attached 3 butterflies on this.. ^^

And the 2nd one is Fuji Sakura branch :

Zoomed in

2 colored Fuji Sakura flowers and 3 types of Fuji Sakura bud

Washi Hina Dolls

I attached 2 Hina Washi Ningyo I got from Yukiko mama. I thought they are fit pretty well for this season and I think they look nice to be put under the Fuji Sakura branch.
Yukiko mama, Hina ningyou arigatou! Watashi tachi wa koko de korabo shita yo ne ... (^o^)/


I'd like to show you the example of how the parts look like :
