5 out of 5 starsHelen custom made this beautiful one inch matte black silk rose with two medium gray Dupioni silk leaves for my occasional wear. I feel she outdid herself creatively and artistically. I cannot thank her enough. TR, Pasadena CA

5 out of 5 starsThis is so tasteful, elegant and sweet! Purchased for my daughter(middle name Rose). Sometimes pins can look corny and dated- the fabric skill is so lovely. Very happy with this rose pin! Seamless transaction as well!

Distinctive Designs
I started by making more interesting barrettes for myself than could be found locally. Then, I explored a broader scope of women's accessories, including the complex and fascinating world of Japanese tsumami kanzashi fabric flowers. Menswear was next.
I became intrigued by the world of men's lapel accessories, and started using kanzashi flowers for those. Bow tie lapel pins and silk button lapels soon followed. I have always been a miniaturist, and making objects under 2 inches in diameter works for me! Also, I'm a gardener, so I have to include representations of actual flowers, such as daffodil, trillium, morning glory, and rose, to name a few.
