Wednesday Yellow Matryoshka

For Wednesday Yellow, I give you 2 matryoshkas; one traditional lady brought back from St Petersburg by a friend, and one I hand painted myself because I couldn't find a Miffy matryoshka - and that delightful rabbit deserves her own matryoshka. My friend (who is Russian herself) told me that the round lady is shaped that way because the matryoshka is often used a symbol of fertility. I'm hoping any future children don't come out fully formed and in traditional dress, like some sort of creepy homunculus that wants to feed you borsht.

Thanks for having a look, and hope you enjoy!
