I like the simple wood Japenese Kokeshi dolls (2 on left of photo are traditional dolls)
... and that's what I did on Thursday. I painted the small dolls (4 & 6 inches tall) with Fresco Finish paint, and stamped the designs (JOFY22) using Archival black ink. I love the simplicity of the design- just the 'chalk' & black, before colour was added- very tempting to leave it like this:
.. but I didn't- I painted them in shades of Dusty Teal and Chalk, hair is Little Black Dress & French Roast.
I'm pleased them - they make me smile - & I think they'll hold their own next to my traditional dolls....

Wow!
