I recently created a kokedama installation in the window of Awoke Vintage in Williamsburg. Awoke are also now selling my Tasi Masi concrete planters and the kokedama are also for sale. Awoke has the most beautiful vintage clothes and accessories and it’s an honour to have my products sitting amongst them! Please stop by and take a look if you’re a New York local. The kokedama installation will be in place for another week.
A bit of installation action!

What kind of string is the colored strings that you use to hang the Kokedama balls? Do you have a source pls? Thank you!
Hi Eileen! I use a poly twine from hardware stores, sometimes called bricklayers line. It comes in great colours and because it is synthetic it doesn’t rot and break when the kokedama are soaked. Here’s a source online, or try a hardware store: http://www.amazon.com/Bon-11-882-No-250-Feet-Bricklayers-Braided/dp/B000A3GA6K
Thanks so much!!
Gorgeous. So how often do you soak? Soil inside, or all moss? Very creative. Nice way of bringing outdoor, in…
Hi Tiffany! Thanks for your comment. I generally soak them once a week, but it really depends on the plants you use and the humidity/heat inside your home. A good rule is to soak whenever the balls feel light to hold. I have a DIY on how to make them here, which explains the make-up of the ball: https://givemakewrap.com/2013/04/07/grow-kokedama/
