Having folded two of those Carambolas, painted in crimson mixed with white, I wanted to do more! A Kusudama! Searched a bit in my books and on Flickr what might be possible and Mitchell's Electra was one of the first ideas I had. Obviously various other have done that before. And it's a classic modular which I have never folded before: what a shame. Mixed in a bit of blue to get more variety for the flowers. As you can see I ruined the brush, but that was worth it.
