Corsage brainstorming - part 2

So yesterday I made my first official corsage and today I thought I would combine a bit of musubi technique into the making.

There is a way of gathering the obi to make a round petal so I applied the same technique on a piece of organza and then applied a couple of white roses.


Okay this picture does not do the corsage any justice at all!


That is much better.

Of course I could sew on pearls, add stamens, use different colours and generally bling it up!  

Maybe I should......

Corsage brainstorming.

So I have been wondering about making corsages for a while but for some reason there was always a stumbling block. 

What do I do for the backing? 

Then it dawned on me, why don't I use chiffon or organza to create a soft fabric little nest for the tsumami kanzashi flowers?  Seriously why didn't this occur to me earlier? 

Anyway here is a quick peek.


Here I paired it with one of my white rose kanzashi but any kanzashi flower design can be use.  

I think a little bit more experiment is needed.  Maybe I could use some of my obi musubi techniques here.
