My Kanzashi Purse was made as I was discovering bead weaving and has some of the first things I learned.....how to bezel a rivoli, a cellini spiral and probably my first ever beaded bead.
Well my little purse got a lot of attention and people asked me about the fabric technique. Kanzashi is basically fabric origami and was used (though stuck with rice glue not stitched) for Geisha head dresses....at least that's what my research told me. So I thought I would share the technique I developed so you can add it to your glossary of techniques and maybe use it in your designs.
