About this Product
A romantic red rose accessory for her hair, handcrafted from top quality tooling leather. Unlike real roses, these beautiful barrettes will last a lifetime.
MEASUREMENTS + MATERIALS
✭ Measures approximately 3" high x 6" wide at the highest and widest points
✭ Hole spacing = 3.5", which is a medium size.
✭ Hand crafted using premium tooling leather, artist grade acrylic paints, and high quality wooden sticks
Cut from premium vegetable tanned leather, hand carved, sculpted and painted. The color is finished with a protective top coat. The rose is a rich gorgeous red and the leaves are grass green with forest green accents.
It fastens with a high quality wooden stick in your choice of color. Please note that my stick inventory is prone to change, so you should refer to the photo titled "wood hair stick options" for visual examples of the colors and shapes that are currently available. The drop down menu lists the current color selections, along with their length and shape.
The leather measures about 3" high x 6" wide at the highest and widest points, though it curves up a bit when worn, which makes it appear a bit smaller. The holes for the stick are spaced at about 3.5" apart, which is a medium spacing that works well for most people. If your hair is very thick like mine, it'll work best for styles like half ups, French twists and partial updos. If your hair is of average thickness, you might be able to use this for a full bun. Those with particularly fine hair may do better with the smaller size.
In the language of flowers, red roses symbolize love. Usually romantic love or passion, though red roses can also represent admiration, respect, and memorial. Leather is a traditional 3rd wedding anniversary gift.

Meet the Maker
I create wearable art jewelry, accessories, and costumes for those who love myth and nature. My mixed media beadwork and leather craft blends organic and unusual materials like semiprecious stone, vintage glass, bone, and wood. Each piece is hand crafted in my forest studio, with hope that it will spark imagination and rekindle a sense of connection to the natural world.
I've been a beadworker since the early 1980's, and I started working in leather in the early 1990's. I began selling my handcrafted work at art shows and festivals around 1987, and built my first website in 1997. These many years as a working artisan have helped to hone my skill and style, as well as my customer service skills.
With that said, you can trust that your purchase will be truly handcrafted, well made with quality materials, and it will be shipped quickly and securely. I hope your purchase will make you smile, garner lots of compliments, and remind you of the beauty of the natural world.
How it’s Made
Carefully cut from premium vegetable tanned leather, hand carved, sculpted and painted. The color is finished with a protective top coat that makes the leather water resistant, but not waterproof.

Leather Characteristics
Leather is an organic material, with subtle variances from one piece to the next. Like our own skin, it tells a story. Thus, it's perfectly normal for leather to have small surface scratches, brands, or even wrinkles! Small markings such as these are typical characteristics of the medium, and should not be considered flaws. As with humans, these little quirks add to the beauty and character :)
