Missed the day by just a tad... I ate my photo of the day subject a little too quickly, and then fell asleep... Good thing when I woke up just after midnight, someone had put in an order at my mom's etsy shop! yay! So the hair comb got packaged right up, and presented itself as the new photo of the day subject, which will not be eaten this time. See her etsy shop at glowingfireflies.etsy.com
I get inspiration from natural beauty of romantic roses. Big flower is made with ice pink crystal tulles fabric. In the center of the flower there are white pearl. The comb is sewn by hand.

It is special and hand made.

I photographed this at the Poppy Festival in Lancaster, California near to where we live in Hollywood, California. It was an art show and this guy happened to stand a long time in front of this painting and I stood a long time photographing him as he HELD ON...
NOTE BUG ON HER SHOULDER... maybe he was remembering something about his childhood in the forest (he seems to like WILD NATURE in greens and dark reds)

The hairstyles of geisha have varied through history. In the past, it has been common for women to wear their hair down in some periods, but up in others. During the 17th century, women began putting all their hair up again, and it is during this time that the traditional shimada hairstyle, a type of traditional chignon worn by most established geisha, developed.
There are four major types of the shimada: the taka shimada, a high chignon usually worn by young, single women; the tsubushi shimada, a more flattened chignon generally worn by older women; the uiwata, a chignon that is usually bound up with a piece of colored cotton crepe; and a style that resembles a divided peach, which is worn only by maiko. This is sometimes called "Momoware," or "Split Peach." Additional hairstyles: Ofuku, Katsuyama, Yakko-shimada, and sakko. Maiko of Miyagawa-chō and Pontochō will wear an additional 6 hairstyle leading up to the sakko. Some include: Umemodoki, Oshidori no Hina, Kikugasane, and Osafune.
These hairstyles are decorated with elaborate haircombs and hairpins (kanzashi). In the seventeenth century and after the Meiji Restoration period, hair-combs were large and conspicuous, generally more ornate for higher-class women. Following the Meiji Restoration and into the modern era, smaller and less conspicuous hair-combs became more popular.
Geisha were trained to sleep with their necks on small supports (takamakura), instead of pillows, so they could keep their hairstyle perfect. To reinforce this habit, their mentors would pour rice around the base of the support. If the geisha's head rolled off the support while she slept, rice would stick to the pomade in her hair. The geisha would thus have to repeat the tiresome process of having her hair elaborately styled. Without this happening, a geisha will have her hair styled every week or so.
Many modern geisha use wigs in their professional lives, while maiko use their natural hair. However, either one must be regularly tended by highly skilled artisans. Traditional hairstyling is a slowly dying art. One reason for this is that the hairstyle over time, can cause balding on the top of the head.

I attempted to make a swallowtail or something like it. This monster is huge, about three inches across. Not sure about the wing shapes though.
Made with silver plated chain, the circlet comes together at a filigree crescent moon which is a lovely silver plated stamping. From the bottom of the moon hangs a glass crystal purple droplet with silver accents. On either side hang draped smaller chains and four more purple glass droplet beads. The chain stays secured toward the back with two hair combs which are each adorned with a row of 10 purple faceted glass beads.
