Meet a little kokeshi (WIP).

I've just recently started seeing these little guys (and girls) peeking up around the internet.  This one was done by Zen Crafter and is in progress - however, it's still cute. If you don't know what a kokeshi is, check them out here.

I've always been intrigued by Asian art. My favorite art museum is the Seattle Asian Art Museum, and this type of work is something you would find there. If you can believe it, there is a quilt there embroidered for years by Asian women who went BLIND finishing it because the detail was so intricate.

If you do detail work like this with your Mod Podge, I highly recommend tweezers. It will make your work a lot easier!
