Kanzashi in Bloom

For my IRP 2, I will be working on the Japanese art of folding delicate squares of silk into three-dimensional flower petals using Diana Gilleland's Kanzashi in Bloom to create something fun. It is a way for me to pick up on a new potential hobby. Since it derived from Japan it interested me because I am currently enrolled in 2nd year Japanese.
