Gold Kanzashi

Description

I felt like trying out making a small tsumami kanzashi, which are what Japanese geisha/maiko hair ornaments are typically made out of.

I had lots of help from *Kurokami-Kanzashi's Kanzashi Tutorial as well as this page, which had a really helpful rice paste recipe. (I watered it down and used it for starching my fabric rather than gluing stuff, though.)

I would eventually like to see how these sell, but I think there are some essential design flaws I need to work out before I'd feel confident receiving money for them.

Edit: You can check out the back of the barrette here - any crits would be very much appreciated!
