Phoenix flower

The name is not final Phoenix, the bird of fire that burns itself to re reborn pure and new, is supposed to bring light and changes, lives and revolutions.

My customer wanted a replica of Waterlily (some how it's really loved here, but I'll only make one replica because the old kanzashi's is not decent enough to be sold). Since it's been a long time, and being as ignorant as I am, I screwed up the main flower for the bouquet :"P That left me with a big flower base, and lots of left-over petals from my previous projects.

Well, I'm a cheap worker, making fake, cheap stuff, so I gatherred them up, trimmed them off and put them together. I've been watching early episodes of Atsuhime, so the theme is "for a revolutional noble lady", as I mixed the theme colors for the real himesama and her anime counter-part - my Rukia-tan - together <3 I was pretty surprised myself when the color came out somewhat alot like the early color theme for my most beloved anime show. I guess it makes sense, in lots of way.

The result is more than what I wished for, so I'd be a little narcissistic today and call it out right gorgeous, even if it's started with a bunch of things that was supposed to be thrown away.

Well, gotta go deliver Waterlily first. See ya~
