Kanzashi/Fabric flowers

[reishka]

I finally got those silly kanzashi/fabric flowers to work! With a combination of thread and glue, I came up with a method that got the job done. That, and using ribbon instead of starched fabric expedited the process, so I'm so happy~ I wore it in my hair without it falling apart -- only time will tell how sturdy it actually is, but I have high hopes. :) And now that I have this down, I can try my hand at more complex ones...

Please pardon the crappy cellphone pic.
