HELP! Need a Kokeshi Doll

I want to create a matching game for my daughter featuring Japanese Kokeshi Dolls. I want something similar to this brooch found in an etsy shop. I would like for it to be in 2 solid pieces so I can keep the hair black and change the "kimono" using different origami papers. If anybody can help I would be greatly appreciative!!

Look here http://forums.surecutsalot.com/viewtopi ... lls#p54708. She calls them Russian dolls. I am pretty sure that Lettering Delights also had an svg set of them for sale on their site.
