My take on December kanzashi. Sugar maple branch with lanterns and other trinkets. I wanted to make one that didn't focus on one holliday, yet festive at the same time.

October Sugar maple leaves and seed falls
This is my take on October kanzashi, Sugar maple leaves and seeds. I will eventuialy have a quebec wild flower/plant equivalent to each month.
Bell ball kanzashi
This is the first kanzashi I bought. It has a bell inside that I dampened the sound with sponge since it sounds like the bell on a cat's collar. I just squished it in so I can remove the sponge any time.
Black and red star Kanzashi
Another imaginary flower, I was inspired oddly from some of the paintings on Cuckoo Clocks.
Pink clover kanzashi
This is one of my first kanzashi I made with my new dying and painting technique after folding. Pink clover, is a wind flower found in quebec, this is the first kanzashi I made of the actual size of the flower.
Glowing kanzashi
This is the first kanzashi (hair pin) I have ever made. The electronic wiring was done by my brother, he made the battery pack glued to the wiring to make it as small as possible. This is the first and last time I dyed my fabric before folding. I found it more efficient and the pigment was more saturated when I folded the fabric first then painted and dyed the fabric.
