Wedding Kanzashi - Part two

Playing around with silk dupion is fun but I also got sent some purple lace as well from Bound by Obsession.


I have always wondered what kanzashi would look like made from lace and at first I was a little hesitant to cut up this lovely lace but I bit the bullet.


And now it is time to make the kanzashi.


The flower at the back is not a kanzashi but a rose that I made because it dawned on me that I may need some more substantial flowers in my bouquet.

What do you think?

I LOVE the idea of lace kanzashi! I think it needs something extra to break up the blue though, because right now it's kinda hard to see different parts of the flowers. Maybe a white pearl in the middle? Or white lace inside?

They are the unfinished article and I do plan to place an ivory pearl in the middle. It fits in with my pearl necklace and earrings I plan to wear.

I really have trouble capturing the colour of this lace as it is suppose to be purple but no matter what I do it looks blue.

Wow, the lace kanzashi turned out really well! Really lovely idea :)

They turned out better then I first thought! They will look even better if I make them larger for the bouquet.

Yep I'll be including the lace roses into my bouquet and then use any remaining lace to decorate the back and handle of the bouquet.
