Tra la la la laa, la la la la

A Christmas card for the in-laws

Tis the season to be jolly

So here are the Russian dolls I created for my daughter for her first Christmas. I won't be showing her how to open them for a few years though - That small one could be dangerous in a little one's mouth/throat. POSCA with plastikote varnish.

Codename: Babushka

The London Graphic Centre does three sizes of Russian dolls in plain wood. I'd spotted these on a previous visit and planned to create some for my daughter. After seeing the previews for the Codename: Babushka show mentioned previously, I purchased the mid-size set.

Here, then, are WIP shots of my 5 dolls...

Out and about

Last Thursday I popped into KidrobotLDN to see the Codename: Babushka exhibition. Had a nice chat with @flattiestoys, who pointed me in the direction of their next project 'Just in time'. It's a 'Back to the future' based showcase, and I have a hankering to have a go at Doc Brown. Watch this space.
