the site is much nicer. Great job
But I can't find the Kedama tutorial.

Do you mean the pastel illustrations? We tried very hard to create custom illustrations that would appeal to primary school ages while not turning off teenagers. It's a difficult balancing act, one that I think our illustrator did well with. The illos are kid-like, but with a high enough quality to convey professionalism and depth. Similar styles are used in corporate marketing and elsewhere ... to convey a friendlier, more human, appeal.
Take care, Tim

HI, Karl -
Thanks for your comments. We left the Kedama tutorial off as it is rather outdated and may not be too compatible with the new version. We would certainly welcome anyone's offering of an updated version to help users get started with Kedama.
cheers,
