I did these two last night. No backs on these, either, as they had to dry overnight.

Oh, how nice! I like the pearly centers, and the contrast on the black one is especially striking.

Thank you! :)

Wow! The red and black is especially dramatic.

I wish I thought I had steady enough hands to make these.

Thanks! The advantage to the rice starch paste is that you can sit there and fiddle with the positioning for some time.

Well, that's definitely a bonus.

Who knows, maybe someday I'll go pick up some dime bagsfat quarters myself.

After the eleventy billion other projects sitting here, of course.

PS The Yuuko Box stuff has all been awesome! Very fun to look at.

Thanks! :D I've just resized a bunch more, and I can't believe I put this much STUFF in there. The recipient's getting her money's worth, that's for sure!

I reeeeeeally like the black-and-red (pink?) one. You make me wish I could wear stuff in my hair!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's more red than pink in real life. :D I can't wear them, either: my hair's too short and not in a good style to pin back. XD

Do you ever plan on selling these? Because I cut my hair recently and I need some more barrettes to pin back the bangs when they annoy me.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've got several flowers made, but I need to get better things to glue them on - the barrettes I've got now flex to much and pop hot glue off before too long. I need to get either alligator clip-type barrettes, or the kind that ... er, doesn't flex, for want of a better description. :D

[keilexandra]

Alligator clips are very sturdy and hold still nicely, but you'll need to cover the rest of the clip with fabric because I think they're mostly too long for just the flower. Sturdy bobby pins might work, too--I think they're called roller pins.

black/pink beauty!
