Artist's Comments

Yay! Another maiko kanzashi set completed, though this one lacks falls again. I don't know what happened, it's like I had a brain fart while I was folding the falls and they all looked aweful. So I figured, why ruin a good set with badly made falls?

Anyways I decided to give sakura another try. I dunno, I don't like my previous attempts at cherry blossoms all that much. They lack that nice heart shape that the petals should have. So, I tried a different method for this set, I'm still not entirely pleased - I think the shape on these is too loose. Still, they look cute, no? - oh, and I swear they're not so shockingly pink in real life.

You'll have to hit download to see the larger size.

Retail Value:
$175.00 Canadian

Yes indeedy I have! You have no clue, how crafty I've been. I've gotten to the point where I'm cursing the art job that gives me money because I'm just itching to sew and glue and not make a single dime. XD

This one I got on ebay. I lucked out on it because the hair had sort of browned with age, so no one wanted it and the seller was located in the USA, so I didn't have to pay the crazy shipping costs of getting it from Japan. In short, I got this thing for less than most people pay simply for shipping a katsura over. If you're vigilant, and careful, you can find ones on ebay for quite good deals. If you're willing to pay more for shipping though, you can usually get some really nice ones from Yahoo Japan Auctions for a reasonable price. I've got my eye on one right now!

Thanks! Just look for the tallest geisha ever to walk the face of the earth. With my katsura, I near on 7 feet.
