Lucie Kaas Kokeshi Dol Freddie, I want to break free!

"The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course."
-Freddie Mercury

A parody of the long-running British soap opera "Coronation Street", Freddie Mercury dressed as "Bet Lynch" for Queen's "I Want to Break Free" video. Though considered satirical in the UK, it was a source of controversy within various media at the time, but today the song and video have become a global anthem of empowerment and freedom.

The Kokeshi dolls are made of Beech wood and meticulously hand painted by Becky Kemp. The dolls are sealed in a hard wearing Satin varnish for a smooth and tactile finish. The characters within the collection were born from Becky's sketchbook doodles of caricatured icons from the art and design world as a celebration of those who have influenced and inspired. There are also imaginary figures available.

Kokeshi dolls originate in north-Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face.
