Matryoshkas
I bought a set of blank wood matryoshkason our vacation to San Diego last year
at an Urban Outfitters store
& I've been itching to paint them since...
but I was a wee anxious about starting.
I gave them a white base first
to make the colors nice and bright.

I'm painting them with acrylic paintsand lots of patience :)

looks beautiful so far! i love your color palette right now.
Holey Buckets...this is so cool! I love the first is gorgeous! Love the colors!
This is fantastic! I love the idea of your little birds as matryoshkas. Perfect!
Geninne, what a wonderful matryoshka - lovely colors as always! Can't wait to see how the others emerge. Que bella!
i love this little one... please tell me there will be a few in the etsy shop!
estimada: felicidades por su trabajo, desde chile con cariño... mi nombre es Berta, pinto de todo, pero admiro tu rabajo en fieltro y la acuarela. me gustaria rezaras por mi para poder ser tan eficiente y ordenada como lo eres tu... soy profesora de religion y de ingles para la enseñanza basica. me encantaria hacerme un journal como el tuyo. voy a intentar hacer algo hermoso. si me queda bonito, prometo enviarte fotos. cariños desde Navidad, VI region, Chile.
They are awesome and I LOVE the colors. I have always wanted to get a set of blank matryoshka dolls to design myself.
Oh my !!! Fabulous!! ....can't wait to see the whole set.
what a fun project to embark on. so cute!
GORGEOUS!!! And what a cool idea.
Do you mix your own colors or buy lots and lots of different color paint tubes?
It is so pretty! My friend at work also painted a whole set and they are super cute! I don't know how you guys did it... those curves are so hard to paint! Can't wait to see the whole set when you are done! :)
love it! i love you color palette!
Awesome! I wanted to do the same thing but need to find some blanks. Looks great, as always!
I love the first one. It looks so beautiful in your signature color scheme!
i know how you feel. it is such a curved surface area so it feels quite strange to add all the detail on these blank dolls.
So far it is looking wonderful Geninne. Can't wait to see the end results.
birds and matryoshka's...perfect!
You have extremely fine artwork/blog.
Stay on groovin’ safari,

I love the colors! Can't wait to see the rest...especially the littlest one :o)
I think your blog is fantastic and I constantly dream of having a studio just like yours! So pretty and funky!
I have put a link to you on my blog because I have chosen to award you with a You Make My Day Award ;)
(It may be something that has been awarded to you before, many times even! if so, please just bear with me :) )
More information over at my blog.
The little Matryoshka is sweet! I get so many ideas from your blog. Now I have to do a web search for them. They would look cool as owls ("kitty penguins," my husband calls owls) or penguins, don't you think?
Very nice work! What a great idea. I love Urban Outfitters
sooo gorgeous! can't wait to see the others too!
nice job! i love them.
Hi Geninne!
I've been visiting your blog for a long time as a source of inspiration - your work is so charming! I bought your Ask/Believe/Receive prints and adore them! Love this new project and can't wait to see how the other Matryoshka Birds turn out.
great work, all the little detail is amazing. the colours look lovely too, keep it up nice blog!
