Ugandan Matryoshka

Ugandan Matryoshka

Hello! This is my Ugandan Matryoshka illustration now available in my shop in a variety of different size prints, magnets, and a coloring sheet PDF. My customer that suggested her said that Uganda is known as "The Pearl of Africa". Also, in my research for this illustration I learned that the traditional dress is called a Gomesi. You can see some of the inspirations that I found when doing my research on the board I created of pinned images here.

Here is a grouping Suggestion:

Southern Nigerian Matryoshka, Ugandan Matryoshka, Bahia Brazilian Matryoshka

Next on my suggestions list is Abigail Adams. I am searching for a good portrait of her in her youth to go by as a reference. I'm not happy with what little I've been able to find so far. I may skip on down my suggestions list until I am able to solve my Abigail Adams mystery.

Peace,

Amy

New- "Holly 21st Century" American Woman Series Matryoshka

"Holly 21st Century" is the first in my new series of American Women Matryoshka! Holly is a beautiful, bright, American woman who embodies the handmade movement of today. I was inspired by the real Holly Embry of HollyRocks (also HollyRocksJewelry.blogspot.com). We have become friends though Etsy and our blogs. She has a generous and kind spirit that resonates through everything she does and all her interactions. With a degree in education, she shares her entrepreneurial knowledge with others by teaching a class about how to start an Etsy shop at a local community college. Holly was kind enough to allow me to draw her portrait as my 21st Century American Woman. Thank you Holly and bravo! (The link to the close up portait is here.)
