Aunty Lulu has started her new course in London, so we get to see her a couple of days a week, hooray!
The first visit, she arrived with a gift for the new one year old. A beautiful origami Kusadama Ball. Just like this one she gave to me on the eve of my wedding. A good luck charm and so pretty to boot.
Pretty origami petals carefully folded and put together to form flowers which are then put together with other flowers to form a ball. Very clever. So delicate and intricate and such patience the paper folding expert has.
It's a gift, this paper floristry. The beautiful thing is that they last forever. With love and careful handling. And absolutely NO water required!
