Summer Savior Claw Clip & Comb Set

Many say that what we see becomes nourishment for the future. This shark clip is an extension of that idea. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758137864_b7c3fece99_c.jpg Two years ago, I saw a Matisse exhibition in Tokyo. Late last year, I visited the Tsuguharu Foujita special exhibition at the National Museum of History. The female silhouettes of both artists are simple yet powerful. When I started preparing new clips at the beginning of the year, I wanted to continue the concept of piecing things together. So, I began planning how to incorporate silhouettes through piecing. I drew my own version of a reclining female silhouette, piecing together an off-white material with a brown semi-transparent material with a subtle diagonal texture. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757052082_8b6cd9a35e_c.jpg Humans have millions of postures. Every body shape is beautiful. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758136674_852591c8c9_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758129733_336220e159_c.jpg The pattern is pieced on both sides. Additional engraved lines are added to the human figure. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758129868_95282444a0_c.jpg One side has the "no reason" engraving on the edge, with no filling color. Dimensions: 10.5x5cm https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757052277_91fbd2128a_c.jpg The other clip takes its inspiration from the English title of one of Tsuguharu Foujita's still life works: "a calm contemplation of everything." https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758136609_eaae504156_c.jpg "Observing everything calmly brings contentment." https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758136709_1871c81320_c.jpg It is engraved in off-white lettering on a semi-transparent dark blue material. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757052132_c5db93718d_c.jpg It looks serene and peaceful. The pattern is on both sides. One side has the "no reason" engraving on the edge, with no filling color. Dimensions: 10.5x5cm https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758246180_516638b8fa_c.jpg The last comb: "Love is never something scientific." https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757908736_3c6d77bba4_c.jpg Although Tsuguharu Foujita and Matisse painted similar themes, their styles are vastly different. The calm atmosphere versus the strong contrast of large color blocks. I chose a semi-transparent light green and vibrant green with diagonal textures, interspersed with a few warm colors. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758136824_510f50a2fd_c.jpg The entire sheet of material is cut into the shape of a comb. The teeth have no sharp seams, instead, they gently massage the scalp when combing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758129773_e8fa6596fb_c.jpg The size fits perfectly in one hand and is also suitable for putting into a makeup bag. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757908946_6a2a84f7ce_c.jpg The pattern is on both sides. One side has the "no reason" engraving on the edge, with no filling color. Dimensions: 11.5x5.3cm https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757908961_b58b7d0974_c.jpg This time, I also made a mesh bag. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757098842_dc36393eed_c.jpg It features a royal blue color with a light gray-white silhouette embroidery. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54757052087_693a16d6d0_c.jpg The bag has cute matching color stitching along the edges. The handles are made in two lengths, perfect for carrying by hand. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54758190984_c8822d8bc3_c.jpg Dimensions: 24x16cm Notice: Hair volume is approximately 2.8cm in diameter when circled by index finger and thumb. Length is about 6cm below the collarbone. Both clips this time can hold a good amount of hair. When not in use, do not clip them onto anything too wide, such as a bag strap, to prevent elastic fatigue. For cleaning, you can wash them directly and pat dry. To prevent the metal spring from rusting, do not store them in the bathroom or damp places. Product material: Acetate sheet Made in China.
