my kusudama, originally uploaded by amaebi79.
I am looking for tutorials on this subject and any information you might have as to where to buy supplies for this. I am also wanting information as to which flowers and colors are worn in which months or seasons. I also started a group to try and gather information. If any one knows of a book in English that teaches this, or a tutorial in English on the internet, that would be great, as well.
I am wanting to learn this so I can make some for my daughters' hair. They all have waist-length hair, and I think this is just lovely.
Thanks, sunshine
The two photos are by Amaebi79; her link is right below the photo or just click on the photos to go to her flickr page
tutorials in Japanese that I really like:
In your searches you might also include the word "tsumami" which I believe means to pinch.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought. I found this link through Crafty Ginger through Planet June (they both do tsumami kanzashi). It's supposed to be five videos of kanzashi that are well worth the time to download. I haven't actually watched them.
