Kanzashitastic

I am so pleased I finally got on with it and bought the Kanzashi in Bloom book. I've had it queued on Amazon since it came out and finally did it. It arrived this afternoon and now I'm waiting for the glue to dry on my first one. Ta daaaaaaa!

I would strongly recommend this book. The how-to is brilliant - perfectly written and photographed. Much *much* better than the other tutorials I've looked at online. Plus you've probably guessed from my comment about glue, there's only one small step with a needle and thread so you don;t need to be able to sew to make them. There's a website supporting the book and a Flickr group of other people's projects. Just take a look at some of these:

Soooooo beautiful. I definitely want to make more. I'll be walking around soon with a bouquet's worth on my head.
