Edwardian Ladies
Derek:
I made another but also did very basic instructions.
Derek:
The only bit I did not show was the hat turning
Martin Lawrence:
Not the best photography as set in a frame with glass, this is made with the process of two pieces stuck together with a paper lining so after turning can be separated, the shoes took a bit of forethought this was a commission for a couple of ballroom dancers.
Cheers Martin.

Kokeshi are the sort of thing that Cynthia Carden Gibson decorates and traditionally the heads were made seperately and banged on as a tight fit. Peg dolls are the ones made from the old style clothes pegs. What you are looking at here is an off~centre female form and as you are finding, getting the offcentre angles right is not as easy as it looks. I made a few some years ago to see oif it was worth making them for sale but they take too much hassle and I couldn't sell them at a sensible price. Good fun though.

Thanks Derek, that is the clearest description yet, i will try again soon. I have been using pine to try to get the sequence right, any thoughts on the best wood to use/
