Kokeshi Custom with another Jack Russel Terrier!

 This Kokeshi Doll was commissioned for a beautiful lady that is very creative herself.  Her birthday was coming up, and her Step-Mom had seen some of my other Kokeshi Dolls and was so excited to order one for her daughter that would reflect her interests and personality. She stands 7 3/4" tall.  A nice size for a detailed design.

 This little Jack Russel Terrier represents several that she has owned over the years.  They have and still are her dearest friends and stand up comedians!

 She loves to paint, so this painter's canvas with the easel and pallet were a special request, as well.

 The hair style was of particular interest to me, and using her photo, I was able to give subtle reference to her bangs and spiky, flip out hair style. The result turned out quite well.

The book tucked into the daffodils says "Gourmet secrets".  She loves to cook, not just normal cooking, but fancy, amazing gourmet meals that make your mouth water!  She was a joy to make.

So there you have her, my latest custom Kokeshi Doll!

Hope she inspires you =)

Kokeshi Doll, Custom order Doctor Doll for Medical School Student

 This Kokeshi Doll was ordered for a beautiful girl by her parents for Christmas this last year.  She is currently studying to become a Doctor.  They gave me her photo so I was able to copy her bang style as well to give a hint of her likeness.

 The Kokeshi Dolls usually have short hair, unless I add the pig tails, but since she often wears her hair in a bun, they asked if I could show it that way.  I like the effect it gave of long, full hair pulled up.

 She absolutely loves her cat, so naturally, I had to include one =)

Pretty much anything is possible with a few photos and a little thought and creativity ...
