Katie, I’m having fun with the Kokeshi doll tutorial, but is there a video that accompanies it? There seem to be steps missing, or not fully fleshed out after the main doll is built. Like the obiage (what’s it for, how does it look from the back) and the sleeves (reducing bulk from the Obi, proper mounting, size. The little side sleeves with round edges: size, closeup of installation. Is the embroidery floss braided or twisted first?
Thanks for your help. I’m doing little mobiles for my great granddaughters, so making 10 of them!

I’m so glad that you are having fun with the tutorial and making so many of them! There is no video with this tutorial. Some tutorials do have videos, but not all tutorials do; the ones that do are marked as such. Many of the questions you have are personal design choices and will vary per doll. I hope you continue to have fun and make many more.

These little dolls are quick to create and the finishing touches are what make them so addictive. The variations that can make each one unique will drive you to make more. I create Bottles of Hope using medicine vials as a base for the doll.
