I'm Still Obsessed With Kanzashi

As you can see, I'm still obsessed with the Kanzashi flowers.  I'm always looking for handwork to do and these make great projects.  I decided to make a necklace using some of the flowers I had on hand.  Originally I was going to wear it to the If the Shoe Fits benefit, but at the last minute decided it would be overkill:)  I'm still hoping to wear it one of these days, just have to find the perfect thing to wear it with! 

If the Shoe Fits 2010 - "After"

Here's the Kanzashi shoe I made, ready to be auctioned off on May 20th at the Center for Patient Partnerships 6th Annual fund raising event.  Come and check out all the fantastic shoes at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, 227 State St. in Madison Wisconsin from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.  It's always a fabulous time!

UPDATE:  The Kanzashi Shoe made $1,500 for the Center!
