Kanzashi Bracelet, Part Six



Good heavens, how could 2 months go by with no blog post? I guess we've been pretty distracted. Ten thousand apologies.

Helen is finally starting to get the hang of this kanzashi cuff bracelet business. It has certainly taken long enough. As with many things in kanzashi making, it's a matter of thinking through the geometry.

So, here's the latest bridal cuff bracelet. This one ties on the underside with a ribbon, so that it can fit on almost everyone. It's made from shantung silk that Helen got from her friend Lannette , and it's quite an elegant leaf design...


It actually fits a little loosely on our bracelet model, but it still pretty much stays put. So, here is the whole thing spread out.....


.....the underside sealed up with a ribbon......


.....optional flower that you can custom order if you want.....


....and the underside on our other bracelet model......


....and you can buy it here.

There are many more possibilities for bracelets and necklaces, we have come to realize. Stay tuned! I hope to post more of this sort of thing, and in sooner than two months, too.
