Lil's things

I made this tsumami zaiku hydrangea with silk bought from this shop in Kyoto; www.oharibako.com

The trick is working out whether to turn it into a hair clip, pin or brooch.

If you can recognise these, god help us both

Rarity's next

I finally opened my shop!

Wavycat!

Have a look... I need to practise taking photos but I think it looks passable. :) The best thing about storeenvy at the moment is that you don't need an account to purchase. Also it's not etsy.

I am slowly working towards opening a shop to sell these things, but photography of small items is so hard. :( Especially living in a dark house... I've tried to surround it with lights and it STILL looks like I'm in a mustly cellar.

I used a slightly thinner chirimen fabric, 'hitokoshi'-- it has smaller wrinkles. I had a hunch that it was the same fabric used by the shop I purchased some hairpins from when I visited Kyoto, and I think I was right!

I like making the little round ones

More from me :>

Some additions to my flowers :>

This one is dolly-sized

A nicer photo! I'm thinking of selling these but have no idea what to charge :s

A dodgy cameraphone pic of my latest kanzashi-inspired things

Although, it's not that dodgy considering what cameraphones used to look like

And mobile phones in general
