# About me
About Me-----------------------------------------------
Why you would want to know anything about me is a beyond comprehension but since the new DeviantID format looks so....empty....if I don't put anything here (and because I'm a Virgo and therefore a perfectionist), I'm gonna ramble on a bit to fill this space up. Warning: I am a very boring person, so read at your own risk ^__~
Soooo.........I'm Jenny, a somewhat Japanese-obsessed individual (if you haven't noticed already), who loves to make kanzashi, cosplay, and just being crafty . I'm also a nail technician who is currently studying a diploma in beauty therapy. Yeah, I'm a bit all over the place but I like keeping busy ;P
So how long have I been making kanzashi for? Since grade 12....which is ohhhh 6 years ago? Ages, I know -____- but I didn't actively start experimenting with new designs and such till early 2010, when my passion for kanzashi-making got reignited after I made the 'Kanzashi Comb' for a former work colleague of mine.
For me, creating a kanzashi is so satisfying because though it IS labor-intensive, the end result is so worth it....to see a pretty flower made from small square pieces of fabric just gives you that feeling of pride and joy. I also like to try new things rather than stick to the same old design. It's so much fun trying to figure out how to put a piece together based on an image or even just an idea. Sure....sometimes it's not successful but after a few attempts, it USUALLY works out ^^;
Ok, I think that's enough to make this thing look good ^___^ so I'm gonna stop rambling now ~hear sighs of relief from readers~

Hi Kanzashi-Hime!
I went looking for your Etsy shop this morning, and was sadly disappointed to find it no longer existed!
I'm looking for an Australian Kanzashi artist... do you still sell your products anywhere?
Thanks!
Lucinda

Hi Lucinda!
Sorry to get back to you so late, I rarely check my DA anymore these days Unfortunately I no longer sell kanzashi as I am in the process of opening a beauty salon. However, I do enjoy making the odd kanzashi here and there. Was there something you had in mind? I may be able to make it for you if I have enough time.
