Description

One of my birds that I've been wanting to make since last fall! I finally found a little time to make three birds. :)

Summer kanzashi: # 27 of 100

<s>Will be for sale in my etsy shop shortly...</s> correction, he sold. ^^;

This was made using the tsumami * kanzashi (pinched * ornate hair pin) techniques. I did fashion him to use as a hair ornament, as per the buyer's wishes, but he could also be a hat pin. ^_^ Or a blouse pin. Or something like that. ^_^

Phoenix can also be called "Hinotori," (Fire Bird) kind of like the anime...^_^

Thoughts?

This is beautiful. :) I love those colors, and the way in which you fold the fabric is amazing. This is the first time I've actually seen anything like this!

Really nice. And are those bells on the ends of the tail feathers?
