I Keep Seeing Matryoshka!

By Christa Terry

A matryoshka, for those who don’t know, is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. Also known as a Russian nesting doll or, somewhat incorrectly, a babushka doll, the outermost layer is traditionally a woman wearing a sarafan, though it might also be an animal, a dinosaur, a sick… something, a robot, or a set of measuring cups. For months now, I’ve been noticing the matryoshka motif everywhere, but it might just be confirmation bias. I grew up with the things, so I tend to see them around. Here are some I found for you:

    These are so cute. It’s great to see the motif used in other things.

    Agreed, Pam, though I will say that the wall appliques are a little in your face for me. Giant matryoshkas watching you sleep could be kind of freaky!
