It turns out that Romania has these nesting dolls as well as Russia, which is just as well because I was having a hard time coming up with a postcard design this week that didn't involve vampires in capes in Gothic castles.
Even this little lady nearly got fangs. What can I say, I've already told you I watch too much Vampire Diaries...
So, we're back on the Postcard challenge where the apparent Lothario Y has meandered across to Eastern Europe from Singapore on what appears to be a quest to find beautiful women in all four corners of the globe. I think we need to read between the lines though...
When will these two ever explain to each other who they are and what they are doing gallivanting about the place so much?

OK, couldn't resist one little Dracula reference... This is a digital play I did a couple of years ago. Silly Mina!

What a clever take on Romania- tho' I am a little enthralled by vamps....I DO love your nesting dolls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little nesting doll, I love them, well, actually I really only love the second to the last one. The last one is too tiny, but the one before that usually just charms the socks off me.
