This is a experiment to use very very long paper more than necessary for the joining material.

1. Cotillon

Mio chose Cotillon as a sample.
She tried to change the joining materials as joints used in this work into terribly long paper.

It's a finished work.But, what's this......?
The work is buried among joining parts, and we cannot see it. It is too funny. Mio cannot stop laughing.

4. Ingenuity

It was all right to ornament it as just it is. But she made it to be creative more.

She inserted edges of joining parts to opposite sides.It was made long paper have regular directions, and an expanded polyhedron appeared.Geometric beautiful form seemed to be hidden behind in hairy inside.We can see Cotillon when approach the center of the work.

5. Conclusion

We found that when the parts were assembled with long paper,we could see only the joining parts and finished work would be too funny firstly.

But the form of the polyhedron appears when she let chaotic long paper regain a regularty.
Probably it would be possible that other directions or other angles to insert joining parts make the finished form different.

As a result, it became the work which joining parts considerably insisted on. The cotillion that should be Maine is like the pinholder of flower arrangement which hold flowers.

"The works that the joining materials will be conspicuous as kusudama more than the main work."

Mio is convinced that it seems to be able to be established as one of the new expression methods in the kusudama world.
