Your Matryoshka doll painting is great Jen. I haven't see a set of these dolls for many years. I became curious and googled them. I came upon a Canadian website called Brin de Folie. It has 11 pages of dolls, all made and painted in Russia. I clicked through them and found they were priced from $24.00 a set to $840.00 a set! The more expensive sets had very intricate hand painted scenes on each doll, getting smaller and smaller. They seemed to be depicting folk tales. Very interesting website. Barbara
For those of you who don't know, Rita's husband passed away at 2:00 am on Monday morning. He was doing well last week but then suffered a massive stroke. Rita says she is coping well because she was prepared. His brother and her best friend are with her. She says she will return to work next month. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rita at this difficult time.
