Once upon a time...

Description

Once upon a time there was a kanzashi. It wasn't very elaborate, but it was very much loved by the Pumpkin who made it. The Pumpkin and the Kanzashi lived together happily for may years.

One day a friend wanted the Kanzashi to visit her and have a photo taken of her. The Pumpkin let the Kanzashi travel a long distance, but weeks later, when it came back, the Pumpkin was terrified - the friend had hurt the Kanzashi badly!

Eager to let the Kanzashi live, the Pumpkin took her and with a touch of love and affection healed it with a song - and they live happily to this day.

***

This story is real in a way. I lend some of my private kanzashi to a company who wanted them badly for a photo session, but they turned to me too late for a custom order. So I lend them mine. The Royal Red came back in a state of complete ruin - the wires twisted, the flowers not in their original places [ have a look -> [link]]

I took Royal totally apart, I removed the flowers from their bases and the petals from the shidare and gave it a totally new set of wires, cord and pearl centers. Luckily, I used paper at the time I 've made my first pin, which made if fairly easy to take the flowers off the bases .

I also noticed that the original [ [link] ] lacked one row of white petals, so I found the same textile I used for Royal's white petals and attached it. How come haven't I noticed it before? No idea, maybe bacuse shortly after I've made Royal I accidentaly sat on it and had to take it apart, but didn't feel like putting it together again until it was send to the photo session.

So here it is!
