Akha Girl Matryoshka

Akha Girl of Thailand Close-Up Portrait

Akha Girl of Thailand

I have just completed my Akha Girl Matryoshka illustration! While working from my suggestions list I came to Thai and in my research came across this beautiful and interesting people. The Akha people live in various regions of Asia but in my research for this illustration I focused on the Akha people living in Thailand where they are referred to as hill tribe people. So this is the first of my Thai Matryoshka illustrations, she is all silver adornments (and colorful beads) and my next traditional Thai Matryoshka will be all gold adornments. Please keep the great suggestions coming! :)

Below is my grouping suggestion for this illustration.

Hmong Girl Matryoshka, Akha Girl Matryoshka, Tibetan Girl Matryoshka

New- Hmong and Pink Hanfu Chinese Close-Up Matryoshka Portraits!

Hmong and Pink Hanfu Chinese Close-Up Matryoshka Portraits
Hi! I hope you are having a good week. I've been in major nesting mode this week. Clearing things out and sprucing up. I think because I'm gearing up for the holiday season both personally in my home and professionally with my shop.

I just listed two close-up portraits, Hmong Girl and Pink Hanfu Chinese Girl. I'm really enjoying these close-up portrait versions of my matryoshka. I adore their sweet faces. I can't help it, they are like my children. I hope you like! :)

Hmong Girl Matryoshka

Introducing my latest illustration "Hmong Girl Matryoshka". This illustration is inspired by Hmong traditional New Year's celebration clothing. There was so much to be inspired by this beautiful people and their culture. I just adore their beaded hats and pleated skirts, and silver coin decorations! I hope you like her. :)
