Fairy Aria <CLOSED>

In the morning, I went shopping with my friend Hana-chan. I didn’t buy a lot of things, but I did get a few very cute.

They were some bells and 3 packages of chiyogami (a kind of square and colored paper). I really love bells and whatever which has beautiful sound.

It was noon when I went back home. Suddenly, I found the thread on my waraningyou (a straw doll) loosened. “Oh, I’ve got to fasten it again!” But I still took a photo including it, as well as the stuff I bought. By the way, the waraningyou is my cell phone’s ornament. I do like Jigoku Shoujo (The Hell Girl); so, please, don’t curse me when I re-tie the thread!

Then, I started to make a kusudama (a paper-ball). I thought I’ve bought the chiyogami with super-quality. When I even made the very first petal, the paper got my fingers tingled; I mean, the paper were very thick and strong. Finally, I had to fold them with a scissor-handle. However, my fingers were still tingled.

Later, about three hours passed till I finished making the 40 petals in the afternoon. “Hey, it has been so late!” I yelled, and quickly fetched some thread; I had gone onto the finial step: to combine them. Ten petals make one unit, and four units in all make out the whole kusudama. Quickly after attaching many tiny ornaments on the hanging thread, I got another kusudama. Ok, it has not been the first time, so it was not difficult.

Nonetheless, my fingers were tingled, and I didn’t use the bells on it (LOL).

I want to try more types of kusudama, when the pain on my fingers fades away!



今日の午前、友達のハナちゃんと一緒に、ある商店街に行きました。あんまりお買い物をしなかったのですが、確かに可愛い物を少し手に入れました。

いくつの鈴と、三パッケージの千代紙でした。私、鈴のようなジリジリと鳴る物が大好きですからね♪～

家に戻ると、もうお昼のなりました。急に「あら、藁人形の糸がまた解けた」と気づいた。「まあ、結びなおさなくちゃ」と考えながら、お買い物と一緒に写真を一枚取りました。ちなみに、例の藁人形は、私の携帯のお飾りなのです。地獄少女が好きだから、結び直るときに私のことを呪いません様に♪～

そして、午後、私はまたまた薬玉のお作りを始めました。ずいぶんいい質量ですね、今度の千代紙が。初めて手で折ると指が痛くなるほどの厚さに仕様がなく、はさみ柄で折ることをし抜けました。でも、それでも、指が痛い～なのですっ。

全部40の花びらを折り終わると、時間はすでに3時間ほど過ぎました。「あらあら困っちゃうわ、もうこんな時間になっちゃって…」と、あわてて丈夫そうな糸を取り出して、いよいよ薬玉正体になって頑張るぞと、10個で一ユニー、そして4ユニーとですばやく組み合わせだし、糸端で小さな飾りを結んで、すばやく出来上がりました。もう初めてじゃないからすごく順調に完成しました♪～

でも、やっぱり、指が痛いのですね。なお鈴を使わなかったと(笑)。

指が痛くなくなると、また薬玉をいっぱい試したいなのです！
