These colourful Russian nesting dolls, or Matryoshka dolls,
are appearing all over fashion, home decor and in the crafting world. I remember walking down a busy street in Ottawa with my mother when I was a small child, and seeing them in a shop window.

What a clever idea! I’ve never seen anything matroyska themed before aside from fabric. LOVE IT! If, perchance, I win, I’d use them on a layout from my dd’s school’s Ethnic Pride day. She did her presentation and displays on Russia, including several matroyska dolls. If not, I’m going to have to find them somewhere myself!
