Do you need some great ideas for stocking stuffers? Well, take a look at our holly-jolly St. Nick Christmas nesting doll. The Russian Father Frost has hiding inside one Santa with a candy cane, one with a Christmas ornament, and one a whole bag full of toys. A delightful holiday decoration or gift, he will fill you with Christmas cheer. Have fun opening up this five-piece doll on Christmas Day!
Production Techniques: Hand Painting/ Decoupage. This nesting doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, the Russian center of nesting doll carving. The carved pieced were assembled, doll inside a doll, then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as faces, which we print on a very thin vinyl adhesive. Such elements are reproduced original works of art we make specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist’s magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece.
Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with Golden Cockerel’s “Made in Russia” mark of nesting doll quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible.
