Larkin has a new hair clip design! I love the imagery in this one-- the overall shape is that of a ringed planet, and the interior incorporates the graceful branches of a tree. The moon and the star inclusions enhance both the celestial and terrestrial aspects of Larkin's design.
If you've been following Idle Talons for awhile, you know I can't help waxing poetic about Larkin's hair clips occasionally. 😅 I lost a treasured hair clip when Larkin was little, and tried countless others trying to replace it. They were ALL uncomfortably bulky against my head and the metal wasn't hard enough so they unbent over time and I continually needed to re-place them in my hair.
Both clip pieces in Larkin's hair clips are slightly bent so the clasp lays flat against the head and is comfortable even when leaning back against a head-rest. They are designed to be placed with the concave faces together, then the stick is twisted 180 degrees to tighten the clasp and fasten the decoration securely in the hair. Larkin hammers and work-hardens the frame so the fit will remain snug over time. They roll the pin through a mill to achieve the same result.
Even folks with the kind of straight, silky hair that usually defies this kind of hair clip have reported successful staying power with Larkin's designs!
