Irina Kummer, a top-selling artist skillfully blends hand painting with reproductions of her original paintings to reproduce a detailed doll. The farmhouse is all decked out for autumn season. A timid little mouse peeks at the many pumpkins lining the walkway. Beautifully vibrant oranges and greens capture the excitement of the season.  This is simply a beautiful addition to your fall decor or your  nesting doll collection.

 

 

 

Production Techniques: Hand Painting/ Decoupage. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as faces, which we print on a very thin vinyl adhesive. These elements are reproduced from original works of art, made specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist’s magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece. Finally, we dip each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight you. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with “Made in Russia” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible.
