Polymer clay and kanzashi artist, and Fire Emblem fangirl.


**********

I'm currently working on a kanzashi a month project. I'm making miniature (and maybe a few full sized) versions of maiko kanzashi. I'll update my progress here, so you can see what's in the works. I'll upload pics of everything eventually. I'm not necessarily working in order, just making kanzashi as I can afford the supplies. I may add more motifs to my to-do list if I think of them, but this is what I've got so far. I'll also list the progress of any custom orders I'm working on here.

These are some other ideas I have. A list this long will probably last me months, if not years! A lot of them are pretty ambitious, and I haven't moved past the sketching phase, so I'm not certain if I'll get them all done. I certainly intend to try! I want to see just how far I can go with this craft. Many are flowers or trees that grow locally, and I think it'd be neat to have a set of seasonal motifs specifically for my area. (I'm going to be quite busy for a while, can you tell? XD )
