Kanzashi

I adore kanzashi, traditional Japanese hair accessories made of silk and rice starch based glue.
There are a lot of good examples online.
I've been making them out of ribbon, using a flame to melt the edges together, as I currently don't have any silk.

Hi!

This is where I talk about my crafts and hobbies and the like.
I crotchet, knit, sew, make hair things in a variety of ways and so on.
I'll include others works, instructions, recs and so on.
I do have an etsy shop, though nothing in it.
