My first trial of kurumie/oshie

After the attempt to make some bookmarks with washi doll on it, now I'm trying to make another japanese washi paper doll, kurumie or oshie. Basically you just cut out the paper out of the pattern and wrap each part of it with washi paper by adding thin sponge/foam in between. After you wrap all the fragment, then you have to put all the part together like doing a puzzle, simple isn't it?

Noooo!! because, first you need a pattern to do it, and after that solved, then you have to wrap all those tiny miny little part of it that can make your fingers tangled :). After I googled up and down I can't find any single patterns of kurumie, so I decided to take a picture of kurumie and copy paste it to words with a little adjustment to my desired size, and then I printed it. After that I traced the picture with my handphone stylus to the cardstock, then I draw the line along the embossed pattern with pencil, voilaaaa, here's my pattern :).

I know I should used carbon paper to trace the pattern, but at that time I didn't have any so I just use anything available around me :P.

And here's my creations .....

The pattern :)

My first kurumie, forgot to add the background, too serious making on it :)
