thread series parts flower : 44 Leaf : 44 paper's size all is 15cm
joined with glue and threads created : Sep2008 making : Feb 2009
This flower is same as the work of Rosy Rose I created before. This time, I created leaf for getting parts together in to the whole with thread (strings). I think the appearances seems to be totally a bouquet and this is really a work like the kusudama. The second photo is the work before adding curls to leaves. You can see these big photos im my Japanese website. http://puupuu.gozaru.jp/monthly/2009/0906.html ロージーローズ ver.リーフ
note : This work was created for The monthly of May 2009, and I took it to my origami classroom, but nobody tried to make it. OMG!!
The work is assembled with a lot of parts, so it may have seemed to be slightly difficult to make the work.
These two works are a little different from Mihara-yae. The base is folded with a flower. And the form of the calyx is simple, so way of folding is easy. All my classmate tried work of this type.
The bottom photograph is the work which was exchanged the base of this type with. All works use the +1/4 unit for the base, but the base of +1/2 root of 2 unit is used for only it.
Series : Cipher Series Parts : 60 Joint with glue This model is a law of a constant folding, and it doesn't depend on to be used paper's shape. So, the model accepts what is folded with paper of various form. For example, a circular form, a form of the flower, a form of the heart, a form of the spade...and so on. The model doesn't need to cut papers to make square. You can see these big photos in my gallery.
Even if you haven't seen a dinosaur so far, and have a chance to see kind of this work, maybe you won't think that a dinosaur is made from a origami paper. Because you know what the dinosaur is by TV, books, movies...etc...could be. A dinosaur is an ancient animal, and it is made with bones and blood and meat... etc (sorry, I don't know detail), so it's not a thing made from paper.

But if you see this work of photo, you may think a kusudama is made with (origami) papers. Because you don't know what kusudama is.
Origami is technique to express form of something (for example, animal and plant and accessory...and so on) with papers. Kusudama origami is a thing which express an kusudama with origami papers.
So, this is a point. ---What is the kusudama?
Kusudama is one of the ornament made with some harbs or flowers(iris, Japanese iris, Citrus tachibana...etc). It means to prays for longevity and prays for a good health and prays for good luck(fortune), also it means a blessing for every thing...
It is the manners and customs that came from China about 1200 years ago. You can see the detail in this page about what is kusudama. ---What is kusudama by Atelier Puupuu
And it is rare to be used with real herbs and flowers to make a work now, and artificial flowers (or something which resembles it) are used instead. Kusudama Origami is one of it.
---reference You can see kusudamas made with various materials. ------------------------------------------ 【匂袋】薬玉（くすだま） ------------------------------------------ see also,
