Easter on Rabbit Hill Nesting Doll 5pc./5"

One day Benjamin Bunny and Peter Cottontail went into the Easter egg business and moved to Rabbit Hill. In their bungalow, which smelled delightfully of roasted parsnips, drying lavender, and always a hint of Rabbit tobacco, they set up a workshop where they painted eggs of all descriptions. It was Mrs. Cottontail herself who set the rainbow-colored eggs about in the bushes along the way... Artist Irina Kummer brings this fanciful vision to life on her nostalgic nesting doll devoted to the simple life on Rabbit Hill. Her original work strives to find the essence of spring. Wouldn't you love to find such a fanciful gift in your Easter basket? You would treasure it for many Easters to come. Made at the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia, this doll is another Golden Cockerel original.

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. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
