I'm just a little artisan trying to make a living in the wonderful world of arts and crafts ✨

My main techniques are Japanese tsumami zaiku & Chinese chanhua, but I'll basically try anything new I find interesting.

Purple flower tree branch hair clips 💜

You know, when I said I made *a few* of these tree branch clips, I wasn't kidding 😅

Some more blue flower tree branch hair clips ✨️

Since these are more turquoise blue, they get their own post 🩵

I was asked if I have any blue flower tree branch hair clips, well now I do ✨️

In fact, I might have gone a little crazy with these and made 25 new ones in different colours 😅

More big flowers made from fukuro obi ✨️

This obi also had a gradient colors, so I wanted to use it for one of these ✨️

More flowers made from old fukuro obi 🌸

This time I also wanted to use the part with embroidery, which was even harder to fold than the plain part 🙈 but I feel like it was definitely worth it 👀🌸

Silk cherry blossoms 🌸✨️

These are made from old fukuro obi, and it was definitely one heck of an experiment trying to fold it (and keep everything from unfolding 🙈)

I've made so many new things, it's kinda hard to decide which to post first 😅

But since the holidays are coming I'll start with camellias ✨️ red & green are very popular holiday colors, and I'm pretty sure camellias are also a wintery motif⚘️

I also ended up watching the mononoke anime again after the movies ✨️

Asides for few really awful side character designs (you know exactly which I mean 😬), it was still enjoyable

I've been itching to make some paper collages again, so here's the movie medicine seller ✨️

I saw the teaser for the new mononoke movie ages ago and then totally forgot all about it and now there's already 2 movies 😅

All generative AI should be behind a paywall, and you should have to pay per prompt.

I made collages to show off the suncatchers on etsy, but apparently etsy doesn't like collages?? 😅

(I'm keeping them though 😤)

Last one of the new hair combs ✨️

This was also made from old cotton bias tape, I wish I could actually find fabric in this color 👀
