Kokeshi/Matryoshka Inspired Dolls

These dolls were inspired by the Cloth Paper Scissors Reader Challenge, "Stenciled Garden."  
Fronts of finished (or nearly finished) dolls.  I hand stitched the facial features and machine stitched the outline of the body. After clipping seams and turning, I stuffed loosely with unbleached wool roving.  They have small bases of lightweight cardboard, so they stand on their own.


The back view.


Each doll has her own distinct personality.
