New Barrettes

I think barrettes are the most popular items in my Etsy shop. But it takes longer time to complete them, so I have producing my barrettes these days. I like the red one very much, because I used vintage kimono fabric , the colors are just beautiful and the fabric is very soft. The other flower is cream/ white, it is perfect for a bride.

Crafting japanese in english

Today I was looking for some books to get at amazon.com, and I discovered some books that were available only in japanese before. But some smart publishers decided to translate them. Happy!!!!
SO I made a list at amazon.com for you to check them out, have fun :)

Tsumami kanzashi tutorial by gochemoche

I am sorry it took me a long time to finish it. I made the Turkish one first and got lazy. The funny thing was writing in English was easier than writing the tutorial in Turkish. I guess because I use English on daily basis more than my native language.
well if you have any questions , dont hold them back :)

Tsumami Kanzashi

I decided to make a tutorial. But first I have to take a lot of pictures.
There is not a lot of tutorials on tsumami kanzashi. The ones I found are very useful, but I guess I everybody has their own way of explaining things. My Turkish friends wanted me to make a Turkish tutorial so I said I can make one in English, too. so keep on checking it will be here soon :)
