Sil here. We've been having some Blogger glitches today due to site maintenance, so I'm posting for now. The above is a kanzashi, a hair flower made using a Japanese style of folding little squares of fabric to make petals, which are then assembled into flowers. There are a lot of traditional types of kanzashi worn, for instance, by maiko and geisha--this isn't a traditional design, just one I made up. I also used hot glue rather than rice glue (heresy!) for faster assembly time. Kansashi-making is something I took up last summer--I was hoping it'd be something to do during the semester to keep me sane, but it turns out I don't really have time for sanity. :P
