Kokeshi Dolls by sämyii

Here is another burst of color for you on this Friday!

Sämyii, from Macerata, Italy, makes some of the cutest things. These colorful kokeshi dolls with their somewhat rigid, polymer clay hair toppers just tickle me pink! I love them.

Made with a wooden base, she bakes on the clay "hair," wraps around fabric for the clothing, and paints on facial features. So simple, yet so fantastic! Who says polymer clay has to be difficult?

Check out her Flickr site for more pics and other handmade items, as well as her Etsy shop!
