Babushka Carpet Doll

From JwrobelStudio

I'm mostly Polish. Then a good dose of Lithuanian. Then some middling bits of This and That that don't add up to much. At the end of the day,I'm an Eastern European Girl. And that may just be why I became fascinated with the image of those Russian Nesting Doll Sets. They have many names, including Babushka Dolls and Matryoshka Dolls, but still they came to enchant me.

This doll is a solo act. It does not nest. It does not profess to be anything other than what you see in it. I love the promise of the figure with the history of the vintage, if not antique, lovingly worn rug remnant that cloaks it. You know the story it tells. That's why you love it.

Details:

I tea stained and hand painted the cotton inner lining and face. The covering is fashioned from a very well loved old Oriental or Persian rug. Hand-stitched detailing. Environmentslly friendly bamboo sliver stuffing.

Measurements are about 6ish" wide and 10" tall.

Please Note: This listing is a listing for one piece only--the one featured either solely or in the foreground of the duo shots. The piece featured in some of the backgrounds is really there just for my amusement. It was my first prototype. I like seeing it.
