Kokeshi are Japanese dolls originally from northern Japan. While they are typically handmade from wood, one crafter in particular has begun creating Kokeshi & putting her own spin on them. Zouzou Design features lovely handmade fabric Japanese Kokeshi dolls that are stuffed with lavender or polyester filling - your choice. Caroline also creates fabric Russian Matryoshka dolls in the same way. If you aren't really looking for a plush doll, but like the style, you might like the Russian doll bookmarks. They are very colorful and feature Caroline's own digital photo montage designs. She also creates fun brooches featuring similar digital Kokeshi Dollface images. I especially love the pink-haired doll on a houndstooth background!

Lisa Falzon is a 26 year old artist and illustrator currently living in Ireland. Her artwork has a fantastical feel to it, invoking the imagination & senses. Jailbreak, one of my favorite pieces, depicts a girl with a monkey-wrench breaking a leopard out of captivity. I also love the portrait of Queen Elizabeth titled The Queen and the Explorer. Lisa also creates beautiful wearable works of art, such as the Secret Lovers and She caused an Eclipse necklaces. While some of her work is a bit dark, such as Jumpin' Jack Me, each piece is captivating nonetheless. For more information, as well as demonstrations, check out Lisa Falzon's blog.
