Croatian Slavonija Matryoshka


Croatian Slavonija Matryoshka
Hello! This is my new drawing inspired by the people and folk dress from the Slavonija region of Croatia. She is now available in my shop as prints and a coloring sheet printable file. Also, merchandise with her adorning it can be found in my zazzle shop. She is my fourth Croatian drawing! Another of the many requests I've received. When I receive a request I add it to my suggestions list that I work from in the order I receive them. So far I've drawn over one hundred twenty cultural drawings and over thirty requests are waiting on my suggestions list. My suggestions list can be seen in the right hand column of my blog. I update it with new suggestions periodically and work from it from the top down. You can follow my progress by looking there and I always post my new drawings on this blog and around my social media accounts. I hope you like her! She was so detailed with lace, tassels, etc. It was quite a challenging drawing and quite fun! Thank you for all of your suggestions and support over the years. 

Peace,

Amy

Sami Matryoshka

Sami with brown hair
Sami with blonde hair
Hello! I have a new drawing with two versions to choose from, a Sami with brown hair and one with blonde hair. Prints in a variety of sizes and a printable coloring sheet are now available in my Etsy shop and dot com. Merchandise such as cards, postcards, postage stamps, tote bags and phone cases are available in my zazzle shop.

Sami Matryoshka coloring sheet printable
I receive many suggestions of cultures to draw. Whenever I receive a suggestion I add it to my suggestions list (you can see it in the right hand column of my blog). I work almost exclusively from this list in the order I receive the suggestions. I have always looked forward to getting to this suggestion. I had known the Sami people for their reindeer herding and I'm a nut for Christmas. So you know, "The Reindeer People" I couldn't wait! Well, I hyped myself up about it for so many years that when I finally got to it. . . it was a little intimidating. Luckily one of my collectors who suggested I draw a Sami sent me images to inspire me and gave me some good direction. I really couldn't do this without you all. Thank you for all your continued support! :)

Peace,

Three Colombian Matryoshka

Colombian Folk Dancer Matryoshka

Colombian Misak or Guambiana


Colombian Palenquera of Cartagena


The only way to describe my experience researching Colombia is— So many cultures! So little time! There are so many beautiful cultures, I was absolutely overwhelmed with possibilities. I decided to narrow it down to three to start with, because I could not choose just one!

The "folk dancer" inspired Colombian is wearing the national colors of the flag: yellow, blue, and red. With a ruffled full skirt, perfect for twirling, and pretty flowers in her hair.

The Misak or Guambiana Colombian is a little girl from one of the many indigenous peoples of Colombia. I am fascinated by the different mountain people of the world and feel the kinship in their cultural ways of life.

The Palenquera of Cartagena Colombia represents the women who sell fruit and are known for their multicolored clothing, and posing with bowls of fruit carried on their heads. They are an African Diaspora culture of Colombia.

So you see why I could not draw just one. And with that, I salute the rich cultural diversity of Colombia!  

Peace,
Amy
