Description This is a commission I've completed for . Here, I've created a beautiful bouquet of Chinese Bell Flowers for her. She will be cosplaying as a maiko in September, and bell flowers are the official maiko kanzashi of that month. I quite like how this piece turned out; it has some very subtle colour gradiations between purple and white on each petal - unfortunately, it doesn't show up well in the photos.

I sold this one for about $125 USD, so it would be about the same for a pink version. If you're interested in getting one, just drop me a note. It's easier for me to keep track of notes rather than comments.

This is me wearing your fantastic kanzashi pin! I'm so happy with it, it's beautifull!
The festival was a success. Next year I'll go again as a maiko. I hope I can 'upgrade my costume with all the piece I miss.

Beautifull! I especially like the colors. The blue shade looks very nice and goes well with the green leaves. the arangement and shape of the flowers is also very pretty. I'm sure she will look great

Thank you very much! It's actually a very pale purple rather than blue, though.

Ah I see, I guess it comes from my monitor setting that I see it as blue
