Linen Kanzashi



Most kanzashi are made from silk, but for some things, there's nothing like linen. Particularly if you are just starting as a kanzashi maker, linen is an exceptionally well-behaved fabric. It's stable (not too floppy), stays put, lightweight, easy to sew, makes good clean lines, and stately. Helen has a linen daffodil posted in her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/72414841/daffodil-brooch-or-hair-fascinator , as a for instance......


and here are some fall colors linen bobby pins https://www.etsy.com/listing/108613446/fall-colors-flower-hair-pins-bobby-pins ...


Let's look at some linen creations by other artists. Sheri from Bungalowquilts on Etsy www.bungalowquilts.etsy.com has made a gorgeous cream linen ring bearer's pillow....


Natasha Fields from Sixit on Etsy www.sixit.etsy.com has made a wonderful striped flower, a realtive rarity for kanzashi....



....and an anonymous artist I found from Google images has made this beautiful pink creation....



So! Don't forget linen.
