Blooming Paper Flowers

You know you have obsessive compulsive tenancies when you resort to making Japanese Kusudama flowers as a reprieve from heavy thinking.

These persnickety little flowers were at first painful to make but as the blossoms began to multiply I felt handsomely rewarded for my effort. Traditionally you are meant to gather all the individual flowers and bind them into a ball but I didn’t have the heart to drown the beautiful voice of one into a concert of many.
