Origami Iris / Lily Kusudama (Traditional)
A logical next step to give this Iris-Kusudama (see frist comment box) even more 'flower power' is to fold another 12 irises, this time from a different paper and place them in the previous one. The first 'flower' then turns into a calyx. You could do another 'flower layer', but I'll stop here.
I also did not curl the petals, but folded just one more iris (actually two), for the curled version ;-))
Final diameter is 18cm.
Final size of the curled Iris is 8,5cm height.
Model: traditional origami iris / lily
Paper used: 15x15cm, Freudenberger paper, purple and with a purple motive
Wishing everyone a happy start of this weekend! I will be visiting some friends, so I'm off. See you next week ;-))
