Wisteria Kanzashi Set

A custom wisteria kanzashi set, complete with kanzashi, bridge, silver bira-bira kanzashi, and butterfly maezashi.

This is the first complete set I've made for someone else, and also the first custom order I've had from my new Etsy shop. I tried hard to make it turn out perfectly, custom things make me nervous because I'm afraid I won't be able to match the other person's vision. The bira-bira kanzashi and the butterfly are going to be little surprises for the customer, because she's my first, and she was very patient and super friendly, even after I accidentally dyed the first set of petals the wrong color.

Having finished this though, I think I'll have to revise my prices for the next set. I try to keep them low, but I have to make sure they're fair, also. I'm used to making kanzashi in a leisurely manner, and trying to get such a large order out in a short time frame was pretty stressful, and was more work than I had anticipated. I guess that's how you learn, though.
