Two New Spaniard Matryoshkas
 |
| Souvenirs my Grandmother brought back from Spain. |
My Grandpa Charles was in the US military and he, my Grandma and their daughters (the oldest is my mother) were stationed and traveled all over the world. Their home was filled with interesting items from their travels. Looking at these items from Spain I started to think, "I really should draw a couple more Flamenco dancers!" So I did, a pink dress version and a red dress version.

My next drawing will come from my suggestions list (in the right hand column of my blog). I recently updated the list to include all suggestions I've received to date. If there is another culture you would like me to add to the list please let me know. Photos of examples of traditional cultural dress are always helpful and appreciated too! :)

Matryoshka Makeovers
 |
| Pakistani Matryoshka |
Spring is coming! Time to spruce up! It's time for Matryoshka makeovers. First off, my Pakistani Matryoshka has had a bit of a wardrobe change and is feeling beautiful!
Some of my other Matryoshka felt like it was time for a change too. My Irish Dancer now comes with black or light brown hair. My Serbian and Latvian now have brown or blond hair to choose from. My Scotswoman has had a day at the spa and her complexion is just glowing. My Portuguese has gone back to her darker natural hair color and brightened up her wardrobe with a new blue apron. My Laotian now has red and pink themed clothing to choose from. And last but not least, my Taiwanese Bride decided she is really a Chinese Bride at heart.
I would like to thank my cousin Robin and her daughter Meredith, my friend Tracy and all my art collectors for your suggestions, help and input.
Peace,
Amy

Thank you for your continued interest and support! :)

Lebanese Matryoshka with less Tantour showing
 |
| Lebanese Matryoshka |
Because sometimes you feel like a headdress, sometimes you don't, I have created a new version of my Lebanese Matryoshka with less of the Tantour showing. She is called Lebanese Matryoshka and the one with the entire Tantour showing is entitled Lebanese Matryoshka with tall headdress.

The basket they are carrying is a blast from a past series of drawings that I will be bringing back soon in addition to a new one for that series. Any guesses as to what series that might be?

Marshallese Matryoshka
 |
| Marshallese Matryoshka |
She is inspired by the Marshall Islands, a rich culture in need of respect and preserving. The Marshall Islands are one of the places at risk of vanishing due to climate change, rising temperatures and waters. While doing my research for this culture along with images of this culture, I also found many articles and speeches on the topic of climate change and how it is directly effecting the Marshall Islands. I have pinned a board of images of the people and their islands and videos about how they are on the front lines of climate change. Let us hope the changes to come will be in the hearts and minds of our world leaders of governments and industries to address these problems and save and preserve our Earth and her inhabitants.

Mongolian Matryoshka
 |
| Mongolian Matryoshka |
I spent last week changing over the prints in my shop to one item listing for each drawing offering all the different print size variations and prices available. This reduced the number of pages total in my shop from 21 to 8, making navigation much easier. The coloring sheets have to be listed separately because they are downloadable files. So when you visit my shop, and I hope you will, you will see the first few pages are my prints in alphabetical order and the next few pages are my coloring sheets in alphabetical order. Then following that any other printable files I offer as PDfs. My Mongolian Matryoshka coloring sheet is here.
Because it is only me researching, drawing, listing, updating my various shops and doing all the paperwork, for now I have come up with a simple schedule to make sure I get to all the things that need to be done, one week researching and drawing, one week doing everything else. I am hoping this every other week schedule will keep the paperwork, etc., from piling up. Because I would really rather be drawing and given the choice I choose that every time. So next week I am planning on updating my zazzle.com/amyperrotti shop to include all my latest drawings. Also I'll research what new products they are offering that I could add to my shop.
Of course filling orders is still top priority and I will continue to do that first and get orders out in a timely manner. Thank you for your support! :)
Peace,
Amy

Her print listing (five different size / styles to choose from) and the additional listing for her coloring sheet pdf are now in my shop. I have had several requests for her so I hope everyone is pleased with her. While doing my research I found many wonderful photos from around the web and pinned a board of them here.
Thank you for your continued interest and support!

Burmese, Myanmar Matryoshka
 |
| Burmese, Myanmar Matryoshka |
I found more images around the web and pinned a board of them to share with you here.
Just a reminder: Come March, I am changing all Matryoshka print listings in my shop to one listing for each culture/nationality. To choose which size you want to purchase look to the right of the listing where it has the name, price, and "Quantity", under those is "Size". Just click on "Select a size" and a drop down window will appear showing all the sizes. Choose the one you want and the price will adjust according to which print size you choose. If you already have some of my shop's items in your cart, you may want to go ahead and purchase them prior to March because the current listings will disappear and be replaced by the new ones (it may save you having to refill your shopping cart). I hope you like this new shopping experience. I hope it simplifies things and makes shopping with me even more enjoyable.
Oh, and I should say that the coloring sheet PDFs will still be listed separately. You can see the Burmese coloring sheet listing here.
Peace,
Amy
