The yellow cream green hydrangea is about 6 cms The flower is mounted on a 4 cm metal brooch hair clip / brooch tray. This allows you to wear this as a hair accessories / hair clip/ hair fascinator / head piece and also as a brooch.
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 passion and love. All my kanzashi are protected with fray protector to prevent the petals from fraying.
TSUMAMI literally means "folded or pinching". The works using this technique are called TSUMAMI ZAIKU and the hair accessories are called TSUMAMI KANZASHI. The ornaments are made from tiny folded fabric (usually silk).
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.
