Matryoshka love

Yesterday I was surfing around blogland and was inspired by Daisy Chain and 4 Wise Monkeys.
I got out this beautiful book and decided to try the little angels. and look what was born . . .

    Gorgeous! You've done an excellent job! Makes me think I should probably go use my "Gift" book too... since I did go and buy it just for that reason!!! What else are you going to make out of the book?

    They are lovely. I'd also like to know what the book they come from is called so I can have some of my own.

    That is an absolutely lovely doll! I think this year I will put various sizes of this doll tucked into the evergreen boughs and ivy I use to decorate our fireplace mantel! Perhaps mixed with Joel Dewberry's partridges??
