Introducing my
Southern Nigerian Matryoshka, another wonderful culture suggested to me. While doing my research I marveled at all the beautiful Gele head wraps I found. I hope I did the Gele justice. Also, I continue to be amazed by how many cultures in our world wear red beads of some kind. I can't help but group my Matryoshkas (in my head) into categories based on similarities. I have the red bead girls (Polish, Brazilian, Dutch, Croatian, Italian, Ukrainian, and now Southern Nigerian), the gold girls (Cambodian, Pakistani, Russian, Greek, Afghan), the jasmine flower girls (Cambodian, Pakistani, Japanese), the list goes on and on. It is such fun.
In the months ahead I am going to be posting suggested groupings of Matryoshkas based on color, region, and season. I hope you find these posts helpful. My first grouping suggestion is my fiery red and light aqua blue color combination Matryoshkas. Happy decorating! :)

Thank you Julie! You are so kind! :)
She is stunning! The head wrap looks perfect. It sounds like you learn quite a bit through your art.
Hi Holly, Thank you! Yes, I love people and cultures and enjoy learning. :)
The grouping is a wonderful idea - for a wall piece! Absolutely love the colors here.
Thank you The Art of Family! I am a big fan of orangey colors and blues. I have a collection of prints I've collected from Etsy Artists and I am drawn predominantly to that color scheme. :)
So lovely to hear from you Amy, thank you!
I agree with you on the orange and blue. My favorite pram was in these two colours. Pushing baby, thoughs were the days!
