The Kick-Starter is due to start February 3rd, 2016, and we are really excited about it. We wil have a link to the kick-starter here when it's open!

Our book includes tutorials from the following artists (thumbnails below), and we're making a variety of designs for you. Some are traditional, and others are to help you make your own original flowers. We have a  lot planned for this, and are hoping to make the print-release come true! We can't do it without help though, so please do consider becoming a backer in Kick-Starter. There are many rewards! From flower kanzashi bobby-pins (hair grips), postcards, a musical CD, and the possibility of suggesting a tutorial to be added to the book!
