Tiny Russian Nesting Dolls

The tiny Russian nesting dolls I made for Valentine's favors were made on wooden egg blanks. I went to the store looking for peg dolls, but thought these egg shapes fit the purpose better. I started out painting 4-5 eggs with a base color of choice. Then, I painted a small round face. Next I painted a cowl or head scarf of another color, and on some of them I painted an apron. Face and hair are next, then scarf and shawl details.





I made 40 little dolls. Here are close ups of all of them.

    Those are amazing! They are not peg dolls -- they're "egg dolls!!!"

    Thank you for sending me the link :-)

    Such a good idea, but I wonder if you can glue some amber pieces for full slavic fealing. Like I saw something similiar to this at amber necklaces and now I want to make for myself some.

    These are so adorable! I fell in love with them! Now I started to think that this Easter will be my theme of coloring eggs! OMG! Thank you for the idea so much! I love that some of your dollies look like they've got amber necklaces on! Haha! Thanks for the idea one more time! They look adorable!
