purple sakura kanzashi

I made this pretty purple hair clip to match a yukata~ It's fairly simple, but more ornate due to the double layer and gradient dying. It was a fun last minute project! I've gotten fairly fast at medium-small designs like this one...

So yes, this is a handmade silk hair ornament, called tsumami kanzashi, a Japanese art I've been practicing for many years now. It's similar to origami, but with fabric, and glue, and dye...I use modified traditional techniques to suit the modern girl.  ^^

So many sakura! More pictures on etsy: www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/22…?
