Can anyone tell me anything about this doll?

I guess she is a kokeshi, but I've never seen one like her before.

I fell for her as soon as we met, and now she lives next to these Tomoko-Fuse designed origami.

She has a silver bow in her hair, tiny red nose and mouth, and strange, insectile patterns on her dress.

Currently, I don't know her name.

Because some of you liked my last posts with my work in progress (naturally I haven't finished these, but started to work on an octopus jewellery dish 🙄 because you can't have enough UFO's in your life 😅) I show you my Kirschvogel. Kirsche means Cherry in German, Vogel = Bird. I had something swallow- or sparrowlike in my mind while I worked on it, but my dear family calls it "Die Ente!" (this duck!) 🤪, because the beak looks very wide when you look from above at the thingie. But I designed it to look at it from the side. I made it for myself and it now sits on a raised place on my desktop, so that I look directly at it and can just be happy about my small bird.

I saw something like this (bigger, shinier, better) on Pinterest last year and tried to make it in a smaller scale. It's a Holder for pens - or respectively my fountain pen of choice. The pen of your choice should resemble the tail feather. As you can see, a lip stick has also a perfect place here.
As funny as this is: The cherry wood I used is selled as neatly in smooth rectangles sowed smoker wood for BBQs. Nice for litte projects and much cheaper than wood which is explicitly sold for whittling. But it's seasoned and really hard wood - which gave me some problems in the beginning - until I switched to soak it before working on it.

Several days away from and nobody filled the feeders but I filled them when we got here a couple of hours ago and it’s been constant visits.

Melting wood? I’m working on a sculptural piece that will look like the wood is melting down the side of a refrigerator. Spend some time with me as I round over these edges. My wood is melting!

Ever have one of those moments in your shop when you’ve been paying attention to so many things that the blindingly obvious escapes you? I had that moment yesterday with the camera on me. At least I had my safety equipment. No!! You can’t do it like that. If you enjoy my video, please consider liking, leaving a comment or subscribing. This is a new venture for me.
