I recently came across the Russian nesting doll art of Irina Troitskaya and thought I would share. Also called matryoshka, matreshka, or "those things are freaking awesome" in Russian, nesting dolls are a traditional artform from the town of Semyonov, where the land was terrible for farming, but the trees were great for nesting dolls. Irina creates her matryoshka on a per order basis only, so get in line! "Queer Fellows" Animals from Russian fairy tales Set of five animals Set of white animals The backs of aforementioned white animals See all her work here or her animal nesting dolls…
