Wood painting

Working on kokeshi dolls – turned by my awesome Uncle. About to sand out the nose on the front one and try something a little less clunky. School’s back today so it’s back to sewing rabbits. Stay tuned.

    Oh my gosh. I love kokeshi dolls soooo much. I’m so excited to see you (one of my favorite crafties) working on these!!! I really need to get my dad to turn out some dolls in his woodshop. Especially if this first baby is a girl. Thanks for this post!

    These are absoloutly whimsically lovely. The wood looks great doesn’t it – the grain adds a great other dimension/texture under your lovely painting.
