Game of Thrones

One of my current favorite shows is Game of Thrones on HBO.  I'm hooked, I've always loved medieval genre of entertainment.  Show me a fairy, wizard, King, Princess or a dragon and I'm there.
This season was so exciting and sad, if you watch then you know what I'm talking about ie... "the red wedding"

I was contacted by a lovely fellow Thrones fan to commission a set of my large Kokeshi dolls.  She wanted 2 of her favorite characters Rob Stark and Daenerys Targaryen.  I jumped at the chance.  I love working on brides but when I get a chance to work on something new an different if re-news my artistic juices.

 Daenerys Targaryen

Rob Stark

Working on these larger Kokeshi dolls has me reconsidering the doll styles that I want to carry.  Etsy has become flooded with the Original Peg doll style making it hard to stand out as everyone is basically doing the same thing.   I've decided that by 2014 I will be eliminating the Original Peg doll form from my shop.  They will be offered only if requested.  My shop with focus on the Japanese style Kokeshi doll

These are the dolls styles that will be available in my shop by 2014. 

3" Kokeshi dolls 

4 1/2" Kokeshi Dolls 

This was a Downton Abby custom done awhile back

I'll also try to stock the more popular characters like Leia and Han Solo, Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda....

I have some new products in the works which may or may not make me re-think opening a separate shop for.  I'm dying to get back to my sewing machine so maybe some new plush will show up.

I'm off to entertain the little one! Stay cool, it's so hot here.
