Blue (Violet) Kanzashi Single

Description

This sweet little blue kanzashi is made from habotai silk and each petal is individually hand dyed, hand folded and mounted by yours truly. The blue and violet petals also have green leaves and a bright, multi-tonal swarovski rhinestone center. There third picture also shows this kanzashi with its friend...sadly, I don't currently have that one in stock at the moment.
(This listing is only for the blue flower, the violet flower is listed separately when in stock.)

It's mounted on a simple metal alligator clip for easy, comfortable wear. It comes in a black glossy gift box, too.

The bloom is just about 1.75" wide. The kanzashi pictured may not be actual kanzashi you will receive - I made these as a batch, so they are all practically identical with only minute 'handmade' differences. I assure you that you'll be satisfied!

---Kanzashi Background & Care---
Kanzashi are hair ornaments worn in traditional Japanese hair styles, most often seen adorning geisha or maiko or worn with kimono attire. Flower kanzashi are called 'hana kanzashi' and the traditional technique used to make this type is called 'tsumami'.

All of my kanzashi are made using as many traditional Japanese techniques and materials as is possible. The few modern materials I use are only done so to make the assembly stronger for more liberal wear.
