Kawaii!

Hello bloggers, tweeters and people who like to buy adorable things (should that "who" have been "that"?  Someone confirm!) I have been working on this section for quite some time, as you may have noted by my not being here.
"Kawaii" is a Japanese word that can be translated as "cute" or "adorable" but actually means both those things and neither of them and something else for which there is no English word, but that would be a very long shop-section title, so I just went with "Kawaii".
I'm going to try to present these items in some sort of order.  I'll start with hair clips because, you've probably noticed, I make a lot of those.  I'll also divide the hair clips into different types.
As always, I've photographed everything with an Australian 5c coin and a US 1c coin to give an idea of size.
Postage within Australia is included in the price, there is a flat-rate of $6.00 for international orders.
All prices are in Australian Dollars.
Happy shopping! :-)

Hair Clips

Standard snap hair clips

The following clips are all made on a snap clip like the one pictured above. The clip measures 5cm.

Pretty Pirate

What's more adorable than skulls with bows on?!  Probably a lot of things, if I'm honest, but I'm going to kick off the section with these toothy-grinned ladies anyhow.  The clips are hand-painted red to match their sweet little bows, their eyes are sparkly and blue.
There is only one (1) set available! They are $6

 

Teddy Bear Love

Look at these cute little guys!  The bears are centred on small floral love hearts.  Little bits of pastel colour poke out from behind their sweet faces.  The clips are hand-painted pastel pink to tone in with the flowers.

There is only one (1) set available! They are $6

There are more Teddy Bear items available below in the jewellery section.

Teddy Bear Bows

Maybe you like more formal teddy bears?  Here they are in bow ties!  The clips are hand-painted pastel pink, the bows are mustard in colour.

Purple Love Hearts

Maybe you prefer your bows with hearts rather than bears?  I've heard about people like you.  I don't think it's weird, promise!  To prove it, I made these just for you.
The purple diamante heart measures 2cm across, and it sits on a delightful polka-dotted bow which measures 4cm across.  The clip is unpainted silver-tone.

French Barrette Clips

French barrette clips are the fun ones that go "POING!" when you open them.  The clip measures 3cm but the design is almost always wider than the clip.  The clip is not a visible part of the design in this style.

So basically everything you need to survive is right here in this hair clip set.

The flowers measure 5cm across
