Kokeshi Japanese
Posted in Antiques on 01/03/2009 06:59 am by adminJapanese craft ideas?
Recently I've gotten into making and selling Japanese clothes and charms. So far I've been able to make kimonos, Teru Teru Bozu, good luck cat charms, Kokeshi dolls, some plushies, wind bells, and lanterns. I've also made a few recycled things, like hand bags made of flattened aluminum cans, and this revolving lamp made of an old bottle. Anyway, I've hit a sort of dead end, and I'm having trouble coming up with new ideas. Does anyone know of something along the lines of ancient or modern Japan, or recycled things?
PS: My line of merchandise is called Sweet Berry Charms. I'm thinking or selling stuff online soon :3
First thing that came to mind was otedama, which are small beanbags that were commonly made from leftover scraps of cloth from kimonos.
Fans (folding, round, rigid), Kumihimo braids, and Daruma dolls are other interesting ideas.
