I have always adored Russian nesting dolls, ever since I was a little girl. My Nonna had a set of display cabinets as I was growing up which contained glamorous dolls from around the world. The Russian nesting sets were always among my favourites. As the years past and busy adult life took over, simple treasures such as these had slipped from memory.
On our last trip to visit Nonna at her home - I rediscovered these wonderful treasures, and watched as my two little angels played with them just as I had. The wonder and excitement on their faces as they discovered layer after layer of little dolls was a joy to see.
As a result I have searched and found a source for unpainted nesting dolls which I will then decorate in both traditional and modern designs - I can't wait to get started!
The shipment is due at the end of next week, so all going to plan I should have images of works in progress loaded soon after that.
These sound fab :-) I'll be keeping an eye out for them...
