Closeup of the kanzashi, maezashi, and obi, as well as a closeup of the crane kimono.
Hand stitched by me.
The red kimono was one of the first ones I made; it's extremely pretty fabric, but simple, and pairs well with various over-layer kimono (uchikake).
The beautiful mask is made by my friend Follow the Wind (here on Flikr) made the lovely mask.
It makes both a cute hair accessory, and a lovely mask.
The wisteria is made of silk; handmade and hand dyed by me. We fold it one petal at a time.

Sorry about the picture quality but this is my first bear of the summer, her name is Hope. She has been made for a fundraising event in aid of ovarian cancer awareness and support. This is a cause close to my heart as my Grandmother (who brought me up) died of the disease and another relative recently finished treatment and I'm pleased to say is now in remission.
I'll be taking some better photos of her and her soon.
Because she's so sad that she didn't has a big sister (She doesn't think Nene' is her sister because she isn't tan)
I made the new dress to please her but seem like I'm not success.
Willow is holding a custom 11 cm paper lantern which reads "Hyakiyako" (百鬼夜行)
This kimono is deceptively simple on the top and sleeves, but from behind you can see this kimono is exquisitely painted. We were happy to buy it and put it together to be worn for years by various 1/3 dolls...
Anyway, who do you think wore it best?
Leaves are red momiji~ lovely again.
Momoko has such a small face! She looks alright on the pure nemo body.
Sort of showing the difference between different bodies, same kimono... pure nemo needs her obi retied, to make up for the smaller waist.

She looks like little spring child~ a 17cm doll in fantasy grey and strawberry hair. Her name is Rin.
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.

The quote is from Mansfield Park and reads:
Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated by a watch!

This one is a shorter sleeved kimono, which is super nice for balance, and also a more homongi feel rather than furisode, which is a level down in the formal/special occasion register.

I made some 1/4 size silk kimono! These leave kanzashi that I've been working on for a few months go really well.
I want to try to finish before the season is long over next time, haha!
This kind of style to wear the kimono is old; it's not modern wearing style. It's based off of Ukiyoe, so you can see the obiage are going down and across the obi instead of on top, and there's no obijime. It's great isn't it?
The mask is by Edera Mari on Instagram; they're a Japanese mask maker who lives in Europe.
