Made up of over 100 individually handfolded habotai silk and polysilk kanzashi petals (predominantly silk) this kanzashi garland is one of a kind. Each flower is centred with a gold coloured bead cap and backed with brown felt and a crocodile clip. The piece is designed to be worn garlanded through the hair but due to the flexible nature of the piece you can position the flowers as you like. It is recommended that you have help putting it on until you are used to wearing it. This kanzashi headpiece was produced for The Guerrilla Fashion Show held in Brighton and was inspired by the exotic appearance of the Brighton Bandstand by night. cuttlefishlove Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:43:07 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3270346 http://folksy.com/items/3270346 Kanzashi Hair Garland in Purple, Green and Pink Made from habotai silk, giving it a soft texture and deep, lustrous colour, this elaborate kanzashi fascinator measures around 7 inches in length (including falls) and is 3.5 inches at the widest point. The small flowers are 1 inch across each and the central flower is 3 inches across. Very labour intensive to produce, each tiny petal is handfolded from squares of silk. This is my most complex silk kanzashi flower to date and is inspired by the styles of kanzashi with falls worn in Japan by geisha and maiko. This will add an oriental feel to a western outfit or will perfectly complement a kimono or yukata. The complexity of design makes it ideal as a wedding hair accessory, and the dangles will draw attention to the face of any blushing bride! Wearing a wedding kanzashi will make the bride look truly unique. Silks used: Deep purple, mauve, oyster and taupe (all habotai). cuttlefishlove Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:55:05 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3270394 http://folksy.com/items/3270394 Kanzashi Fascinator with Falls in Purple and Mauve Habotai Silk with Falls My new range of kanzashi hairbands!
