This unusual rockabilly style kanzashi fascinator was inspired by the Queen of Hearts in Alice and Wonderland! This was produced to brief for The Guerrilla Fashion Show which took place in my home town of Brighton. The brief was Brighton and it's diversity, so this piece was inspired not only by the gorgeous 50's style lovelies who frequent this town, but by Sussex Square where Lewis Carroll stayed and which was his inspiration for Alice and Wonderland.

This piece is roughly 5 inches by 5 inches at its widest points. The central rose is just over 2 inches in diameter and has a black bead in the centre. The cards are covered with white silk and backed with white felt. There is a large alligator clip to hold the piece securely to your hair.



Please bear in mind that the colours you see on your screen may not exactly match the appearance of the kanzashi 'in the flesh', though I have tried to show them as accurately as possible!

Kanzashi are Japanese hair ornaments. Hana kanzashi means ‘flower kanzashi’ and simply refers to the flower shape of the hair accessories. Tsumami kanzashi means kanzashi that are made by pinching silk to form petals and is the Japanese traditional craft which inspires my own kanzashi.

If you would like a custom kanzashi made in a flower or cluster shape, according to an existing design of mine, in the colours of your choosing, please get in touch with me via Etsy conversations. I am also happy to undertake more complex bespoke orders, such as bridal fascinators, boutonnières, corsages and bouquets. Just get in touch to discuss what you are interested in!
