After tucking my ferrets in last night, I starting working on my dream project - my own personal wood/kokeshi dolls. Above are my first few practice faces - pen on cheap destash wood peg heads. Practice only -- the spacing and proportions are key to cute -- until I paint actual wood doll heads/bodies I've ordered. The first few will naturally be for myself and gifts. But if somehow they end up with exceptional cuteness, maybe I'll actually make a few for Shop 66. For now this is just fun!

Making Faces

They look great. I can't wait to see what you come up with. The heads actually look pretty useful - do you sell those in the shop?
Thank you! Do not have the heads in the shop but I have lots and lots. I will send you a few with your squirrel pin I'm packing up tomorrow. If you want more once you've played/created with them, let me know. xoxo Gretchen
Woooow,the one in the middle is so pretty!!!!!!!
Very sweet:OD
The middle one will have braids. She is styled after a doll I wanted on YJA but didn't win (or sometimes was too "as-is"). My new way to deal with doll's I wanted but didn't win or buy, is to make something in it's image.
