I made another doll this weekend with Chisako, this time an Okinawa doll. The main difference seems to be the kimono, which is made of paper designed to look like bingata fabric. I love this pattern and the way the turquoise looks with the super-bright orange. As I told the person sitting next to me in class, "I'm trying to blind everyone who looks at this doll."
The other difference is that this doll has a nice upswept hair-do, a headband and a tiara. I love tiaras. Other than that, the folding techniques were the same as last time, only the teacher didn't help me as much, which means this doll is a little less professional-looking than the last, but it feels more like mine.

I love the blue floral pattern! The color contrast is excellent.
