OK, so the mesh one was really transparent, so it has something like 3 layers? But it was still transparent around the panty-line area so we stole a skirt from another outfit, and ooooh, I need to make another skirt like that because it POOFS very nicely.
The ecru one is a vintage silk material (from an everyday kimono) and it has SUCH nice drape...silk is fun.
...figuring out. patterns for this sweetie is NOT fun and I'll do better next time. 😆
The september kanzashi for maiko is the bell flower and bushclover. 萩桔梗
I made this tiny version for dolls. Suitable for SD (8-9 wig), or as an oversized hair ornament for MSD (6-7 wig).
Heena is a BJD Crobi doll, 8-9" wig.
We got a fun request for a kanzashi that'd be suitable for a kabuki yakusha, and we went with elegant pinks and whites, and bold reds, a winter design.
Handmade hairpin, handmade kimono.
custom made the jewelry (see other photos for details) Painted the white markings on the mask black. White eye covers with purple glitter. Added black to the fabric gold trim. PS.... my dress with black and purple lace. :)
I was making a pattern for slim 1/4th size dolls (slim MSD), and this was the first kimono I made with it. Finally lined it...! ♥

Marcus has been very busy lately, helping me with my photo book assignment for uni. I think he deserves a rest and a nice cup of tea.
"Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him." ~Mathew Henry
Briar is wearing a red kimono over a white inner-kimono, worn loosely with a manaita obi. The manaita obi is specific to Oiran, who would wear such gorgeous obi with gold embroidery thread flowing over the very-detailed obi, which is longer, broader, and padded more than the usual obi. The decorative gold threads represent the Floating World, a pretty way to refer to the red light district.
I was playing with the shibori hair ties, and made the semi-traditional hair updo (simplified, and not all the way up~ ♥ but still cute)
This kanzashi design is quite complex; maple leaves, hand dyed one "petal" at a time and arranged into a fall theme.
Kimono and hairpins: Handmade by me.
Also, this is my third wig for this size....it's still difficult.
tiny tablecloth
glue - to stiffen the lace
lace left over

Orange Sakura and Plum Blossoms: Custom Kimono Set
Hikuzuri & Nagajyuban made for the old(er) Lune Body (LilyCat 57.5cm tall (20cm circumference head, wig size 7-8")
The leaves and plum blossom together is one of my whimsical and through-the-seasons designs. ^^
The half-mask fox is made by my friend, M. Follow-the-Wind here on Flikr. (Tagged)
This is an under kimono (nagajyuban 長襦袢). I went ahead and added an obi just for fun— in photos it is harder to tell this is the under kimono fabric I think. 😁 The train part of the kimono / nagajyuban is extra long for this set because this is a 1/4 doll missing for a 1/3 Lillycat doll.
My Kitsuke here is a bit messy with the wrinkle by her hip— better try next time hopefully for a doll size I own.
Rin looks so cute against the starlight pattern. ♥
I made the flowers in Rin's hair... the little flowers are about 1cm each, handdyed silk. The art is called "tsumami zaiku" and it is from folding tiny squares like origami. It's a Japanese technique, also called "kanzashi" in English.
Willow is wearing a green custom kimono.
This is only my second commission this year...hand sewing still takes me a very long time.

The white kimono is made of roh; summer-weight silk. It is very thin and usually worn in the summer. It's especially nice on dolls for this reason, as it's quite thin compared to winter kimono width.
Handmade by me: kimono, kimono accessories, and silk hair ornaments.
Very cute outfit and some fun lighting for our little Appi doll, whose name is Nimbus.
I love indirect lighting. How about you?
Anyway, the little sheep plush is from Minne.

We made this lovely purple and sheer kimono set for a kind individual. Beautiful furisode fabric and sheer sparkle organza fabric go together so nicely.
