kokeshi joy...

 

I found these vintage kokeshi twins in one of my favourite shops in Bangalow. Aren't they amazing? Cira 1950/60....you can tell how old they are by the shape of the body, and their hair styles.  

I've been playing around with their portraits this week, and it surprised me how old and authentic my prints look.  This has been a nice departure from my signature cute & quirky illustrations, and I'm quite excited about exploring new possibilities.

I love kokeshi dolls, especially the ones created way back. How much did you spend to get them?

$35 and you get to have these uber cute pair? That's amazing! And they're still in good shape. Lucky you!
