This book has so many good ideas. The only edition currently available is in German. I can't read a word of it, however the images speak for themselves.
It offers a wide selection of projects, including aprons and tote-bags with appliques of sweet-faced kokeshi dolls, key-chains and ornaments, soft-sculpture dolls, brooches, and framed kokeshi-inspired artwork.
The ideas in this book were the inspiration for me to broaden the options for
my latest pegdoll swap, giving participants the choice of creating pegdolls OR something pegdoll-inspired. Below you will find more kokeshi-style inspiration... and for information about joining the swap,

I wonder what nice things could be made from kokeshi-patterned fabric?
