Lately I have been seeing a lot of Matryoshka doll inspired designs. This Russian nested doll is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside another. Did you know that the name Matryoshkac omes from the Russian female first name “Matryona”, which is traditionally associated with a corpulent, robust, rustic Russian woman?
These fun Matryoshka inspired money bank dolls are from Present Time. Click here to see all the different dolls available. Are you rather looking for some more authentic dolls? On ebay you would be able to find some beautiful vintage dolls.

Have you ever seen these? A bit gruesome, but a nice take on the Matryoshka doll. The dolls were by Adam Bayer and were shown at the Wurst Gallery…

Hmm, I’ve been noticing this too. Even, oddly, at a local car boot sale, I keep seeing them. I’d love to find blanks to paint on sometime.

These dolls are popping up everywhere!
Great idea Heather, to find blanks ones and paint them yourself (especially when you are that talented as you are!). By the way, congrats with you Etsy shop, I love it!
