Description Inspired by Lolita fashion. (WaLoli or HimeLoli or AmaLoli...your call.)

Kanzashi are "ornate hair pins." Each petal was an individual square of hand-dyed silk.

EDIT: Actually, I do sell these little darlings. I just have been forgetting to link : Bright Wish Kanzashi at etsy. ^^ since a few of you asked..

hanatsukuri In reply to PrincessPoutee [2010-07-16 04:15:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I can make them in any color! I hand dye the silk, so there's a great variety of colors you can pick from. If you're interested, send me a note and I'll give you details.

Awww..they look amazing. I've seen them in the craft magazines I get from overseas, and yours look professional grade. I love the colors you used(and the way they are arranged)and hope to see more in the future(maybe in retro colors with nifty little buttons and completmentary colors???)Good Job!!!

hanatsukuri In reply to MonochromeVisions [2009-01-20 01:19:23 +0000 UTC]

Awww, thank you for the compliment!

Retro colors, hmm? Does this [link] count? ^_^ (er, kinda faded, but you know...)

I'm a little tired of pink. *eyes them all* so I think I'll stay away from it for a while...(barring custom orders. *dies*) So, yes, I'm thinking, "Purple. Blue." at the moment.

Thank you for your kind words!

That works(I was thinkin hippy mustard colors with deep eggplant purples and navy blues with funky pumpkin orange)I dont know if it will work, but they look so cool...your work is still amazing*pouts* the envy is complete

well its only a suggestion... but they are funt o work with paint wise so why not cloth and silks? i just got done looking throught the rest of your gallery, and i love the black and white ones, theyre very elegant..

hanatsukuri In reply to MonochromeVisions [2009-01-20 14:37:56 +0000 UTC]

I think it's really good to work away from one's accustomary palate and try out new colors...so I think I will.

^_^ thank you so much, though-- I like to think the black and white ones are elegant too...

Inuyatta In reply to hanatsukuri [2009-01-19 09:29:00 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's really impressive to see your varied styles and accents for each piece--I was showcasing a lot of your work tonight to a friend of mine who is trying to decide what she wants. She also wants to get a gift for someone, but I think she needs it in blue or something. I told her to send a convo to you at etsy when she makes a decision! :3

Oh, before I forget--did you want me to try selling some of your stuff at cons? Then next one I'm heading to is Ikkicon in Austin, which is the first weekend of February.

Actually, now that I think on it, I could probably sell your stuff just about anywhere since Valentine's day isn't far from now. Either way, if you want me to give it a shot, just drop me an email!
