Kokeshi Kokeshi and More Kokeshi
I've been meaning to post this a month ago... Time just jets on by...
I needed to put together some items for a local craft show in November. I think the audience for this event will be mostly Asian, so I decided to make some kokeshi amigurumi. Kokeshi dolls are traditional Japanese dolls usually made out of wood in a simple cylinder shape with a round ball head. Ah, perfect for amigurumi. I made some traditional geisha type ladies and then spun off into other areas, like China dolls, ninjas and even fishermen. Check these out:
These are the first 10 I made, and there are 10 more I haven't photographed yet. Hope they like them!
