I choose yellow for this ume flower batik kanzashi hair clip. It goes well with the dark green leaves. I used hand-dyed batik for the flower and polyester satin for the leaves. I added some yellow swarovski crystal on the flower and the leaves. The size of the flower and the leaves is 8 x 5 cm. It is mounted on an 8-cm alligator hair clip.
To make the flower, I used hand-dyed Indonesia batik cotton and adapted Japanese method of making tsumami kanzashi. Every petal is folded and assembled by hand with LOVE. All my kanzashi are protected with fray protector to prevent the petals from fraying.
TSUMAMI KANZASHI literally means "folded hair ornaments". The ornaments are made from tiny folded fabric (usually silk). These form various shapes mostly flowers by assembling them using nori or rice glue.
BATIK is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. In Java, Indonesia, it is considered an ancient tradition and some of the finest batik in the world is produced there.
