Hair pretties/kanzashi
Well, I'm new around here and new to dread making (and I still really suck at it). So I won't be showing off dreads anytime soon. So I thought - 'I know! I'll show off my kanzashi skillz!' and then realised I'd deleted ALL my old pics of them. FML.
But! At the beginning of the year I did a custom order for a friends wedding. I snaffled this pic of her hair piece. I also did flowers for the bridesmaids and the wedding party. But it was mainly the brides piece that I was most proud of.
This is what I'm good at (for now at least!) along with graphic design Just for the hell of it, here's the mock up for my nieces circus store as well - http://violetcrimedesign.com/clients/wd/ - they do fire twirling and all that sort of thing, so it had to be funky and kid friendly since they sell to schools. I've also been working on some t-shirt/sticker/merch designs for author http://www.staciakane.net/. When they're up and running I'll show you guys
Anyway, there you go. I felt like I was jhust lurking about like a big loser with no talent. Now I feel marginally better

How lovely! Do you have pictures of any other kanzashi you've done?

Re: Hair pretties/kanzashi
I *did* have some. I appear to have deleted them. Like a giant moron. However, I think I might whip some up because I need something funky to wear to my birthday drinks next week. I'll post pics when I make them

The borrom isn't done I was going to add silver flutters to it as well since it was on a hair fork. They're the things hanging off this pic (not mine)

They're so neat and perfect. I started making kanzashi about a month ago. I can only do a couple of styles and they don't look very professional and neat like yours. How long have you been making them for?

Re: Hair pretties/kanzashi
Thankyou I've been doing them for about 3 years now. It's taken me that long to get my basic techniques down. I have a fairly non traditional/quirky way of doing them Mine are super simple compared to many of the incredible makers out there. Some of the sellers on Etsy are *amazing*.Nanou2 wrote:They're so neat and perfect. I started making kanzashi about a month ago.
