Took me more than an hour to complete my first sakura kanzashi, but I finally finished it!
For weeks, I have been trying to figure out how to do the notches to make a pronounced sakura petal. Yesterday, I managed to make an entire flower, which I made into a cellphone charm. Woooo!
Hana tsumami kanzashi, or more commonly known among crafters as kanzashi, are traditional hair ornaments wore by geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha). These accessories were used to add elegance to a geisha’s elaborate coiffure.
I’ve been playing around with these flowers for a few months now, and I just launched my online shop to sell my products. A lot of them are hair accessories but I also made a few other stuff like mobile phone accessories.
I used Japanese female names to identify my items. But I also named them after some very special girls in my life: friends and family who are very close to me and who are positive influences in my life. 🙂
Feel free to take a look around and I hope you find something you like. http://studiokawaii.multiply.com
