Nesting Dolls Our Customers Have Painted

Here are some of the works of art our customers have created from Golden Cockerel blank nesting dolls:


Katie Mosman says: “Once again I have taken up the paint brush to paint one of the blank nesting dolls I bought off of your lovely website, it didn't take me quite so long as before thankfully as I was so eager to start. The doll is your blank chime doll, when you had it on special I couldn't resist buying it. I certainly had lots of fun painting as I listened to the chimes.”

Monster photographer stacking dolls by Sorrel Sparks of the United Kingdom. "Here is a set I decorated for my friend who is a photographer who loves the colour PINK! She loves them!"

Wendy Milovina painted these stacking dolls featuring the characters from Mercer Mayer’s Little Critter books.

Dustin DeGrande painted this matryoshka to look like his family. “I painted the entire family (including dogs) for my parents last Christmas. Shortly thereafter, I had to send them the smallest nesting doll (still nested when this photo was take), after our son was born.”

Painting a nesting doll can be a fun family art project! Mom and daughter, Mary and Nicole, decorated these stacking dolls together. Nicole is eight and collects nesting dolls.

These neat pirate stacking dolls were painted by Sorrel Sparks of the United Kingdom.

Sally Chandler made this nesting doll set as a gift for her daughter’s family. “I painted these for my daughter and son-in-law and their family while they were living in Huntersville, North Carolina, so they'd have a picture of their well-loved house there before they moved to Texas because of a job-transfer. The church is where they were married in our town in Massachusetts, in 1999. The portraits are on the front of each piece and on the reverse are the pictures showing that person doing something, such as my son in law who is a biker and Ironman Tri-athlete. The smallest piece shows their yellow lab Belle; on the reverse of her piece is a little Christmas tree because she arrived in their family on Christmas Eve as a tiny puppy. Love your nesting doll blanks! Thanks for offering them.”

Lisa Reed of Washington used her blank matryoshka doll to recreate the Disney Channel's own Higgly Town Heroes.


Artist Kim Carney says of her dolls, "I ordered a 12-piece nesting doll set that was sitting on my desk. I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for but as an artist, I could envision all kinds of opportunities for creating something fun for work. When my creative director announced his departure to another job, I looked at those blank nesting dolls on my desk, counted the artist on staff, and had a vision of a fun going-away present. Each artist decorated or painted a 'mini-me' on a blank nesting doll. Being the 'bag lady' who carries around magazines and books all the time, I made 'mini-me' with lots of baggage, including tiny magazines. We told our creative director he could have his own little staff meeting with or without us." You can see more of Kim's awesome art at her website, "Something to See."


Kiki Reed created these two masterpieces.

Jody Brunatti did an amazing job on these beautiful nesting dolls.

Mar Hernandez, aka Malota, did a fantastic job with these dolls. You can see more of Malota's art at her website, malotaprojects.com.

Nina Knox of South Carolina writes, “These were created using scenes from Toy Story and Toy Story 2. My three-year-old son LOVES nesting dolls, and always gets so excited when he sees them come on the screen. I decided to try painting them for him myself, and I was quite pleased how they turned out. I plan to give them to my son for Christmas.” We think they came out great, too!
