Description

My first almost-traditional kanzashi.
Made for my yukata, which has sakura flowers on it :)

I finally managed to learn the sakura petals!
Big thanks to :iconkurokami-kanzashi: on the tip how to make them!:)
Bira-bira is hand-made and silver, as I don't have the possibility to buy some.

I know this is an older piece and i have noticed that you have not attempted another with a home-crafted bira bira. I would like to say that it is a wonderful rendition of a bira bira. I will not point out what is "off" on the chimes, but i would like to offer something to think on if you attempt another. Try looking up some wire work techniques to find the loop twists on a traditional bira bira, like at WigJig [link] These simple loops (can be done on a pencil or dowel rod) and will enhance your home-crafted bira biras.
