White Fish FLOWER KUSUDAMA - embossed paper, sushi grass, and a wiggly fishy - one of a kind

Description

Nothing's fishy about this unique ornament, unless you count the tiny tin wiggler dangling from the end! His gold body is segmented into seven sections, and he has beady red eyes. But, he has no smell!

Neither has the beautiful flower above, which I folded and glued together from 30 two-inch squares of exquisite ecru paper, embossed with a reptilian skin pattern. This particular kind of origami is called "kusudama", though that's technically a complete ball, and this one's a hemisphere that can lay flat against a wall.

The backing is several pieces of upcycled plastic sushi grass, under which the hanging cord is hidden. The twisted ends suggest seaweed, though are in fact lengths of wire threaded through green glass seed beads.

The flower itself measures 3 inches across, the fishy is 2.5 inches, and the whole beautiful piece is 12 inches long.

Please note that this listing is only for the little white beauty on the left in the last photo. If you'd like to see more of my available origami, click here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6105587&section_id=6473413
