Via Vassiliev's original approach, finite type (Vassiliev) invariants can be defined for many objects representing immersions building a space with singular strata. In this paper, the author considers Vassiliev invariants of ornaments and doodles, certain classes of immersed closed curves in the plane without degenerate (self-) intersections. Certain new (formulas for) Vassiliev invariants via arrow diagrams are introduced, similar to the formulas of Polyak-Viro for knots. As an application, the author shows that Vassiliev invariants classify flat braids (braids with the signs of the crossings ignored). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00021].
