5 out of 5 starsI asked Karen after my initial order if she could make something for my hair. She made the most amazing hairpiece for my wedding. I can't wait to wear it. She is so talented and the detail is just incredible. Karen is so helpful and she even offered to send me Bobby pins with the order. I cannot praise her enough!

About GracelinePaperStudio
-
The process of Kusudama flower making begins with a symmetrical square, sometimes circles, etc. for me, folded 7 times.
-
One example of a scalloped edge vintage sheet music flower, minus the final touches of buttons, stamens, or jewels.
-
Vintage sheet music is used to create sheet music flowers. Same with Vintage map flowers, or book page flowers.
-
One petal has been folded, next I fold five or six more and carefully glue them together, then secure with paper clips.
-
Here is a typical cluster of several orders after a day's work. Stamens, jewels, and stems come next.
Origami paper flowers are everlasting
You would think by my age one would be pretty set in their ways, but this lover of all things crafty, handmade, and specifically oriental was off on another adventure, that being pretty typical of a left-brained kinda gal. I discovered Etsy and origami, both at the same time. I asked my grandkids what would be a good name for my new Etsy shop and they helped me decide that Graceline Paper Studio would suffice. And so the adventure began. In a tiny house filled with oriental influence, on a pretty fall day in northern California the internet introduced me to Kusudama flowers and I haven't looked back.
My customers mean the world to me, customized orders are right up my alley, and the creation of unique Kusudama flowers for weddings, gifts, and home decor using a specialized Asian craft delights me every day.
My 13 grandkids might consider me a little kooky, as most days they will find me 'folding flowers on my couch'. But I consider myself blessed as Etsy has provided the venue for me to do something that is growing in success AND keeps me content. What more could a grandma want?

Karen Grace Hornsten
Owner, Designer, Origami Kusudama Flowers
I grew up loving all things oriental; Kanji symbols, symbolic oriental statues, the deep rich thoughts of an Asian poet, so it was only natural that my sights were drawn to origami and the ancient Asian craft of folding origami flowers.
