kanzashi obsessed

i've made a few hair ties from patchwork cloth which can be seen at my shop. this one that i am brogging about is a result of my sakura obsession. i've tried it make it as close i can to the tsumami kanzashi that represents april. wanted to attach some falling petals but i think it's a bit too much for daily wear and on a hair band.

the pink was color in using water colors so they will run when wet. eep! thinking of getting some fabric dyes instead but i don't want to get a large bottle of 1 single color. do they have palettes?! hehe.
