5 out of 5 starsI have ordered a customised version of the lapel flower in rose form from Helen as well as a matching pocket square. The flower and pocket square are really beautiful and the fabric is of high quality. The purchase exceeds my expectations and I can definitely recommend it!

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.
