I am so so so excite to introduce to you all Ginger and Jill. These two sweet kokeshi dolls are my first prototypes for my upcoming Etsy shop. This project is very personal to me... my grandmother is Japanese, and we have a collection of her
Kokeshi dolls at my parents home. I fell in love with them instantly... and one day it just came to me... this is it... this is what I want to make! I really hope you will all like them. I would love any advice and or encouragement. Also if anyone has any ideas or photographs for inspiration, I would love for your to share them with me. My mission is to complete 25 within the next month or two.
P.S.
Many more Kokeshi dolls are also having their big reveal tomorrow (6/25) for a 5 day Kokeshi gallery hosted by
Red Yarn. Check it out!
If you would like to see larger images you can check them out on my
flickr site.

Your dolls are really cute! I love Jill's little sailor hat. A little while ago, I found a desktop background on a blog (Non dairy Diary) that has Kokeshi dolls on it. http://del4yo.blogs.com/non_dairy_diary/2006/11/desktop_kawai.html
