Russian Doll Mod

Had picked up this set of russian doll(Matryoshka doll) knock offs from a trip to Channapatna a few years back..



The quality was not so great.. and the enamel was a bit chipped


So anyway i recently saw a cool image on facebook.. someone had painted their set..

It seemed like a simple and fun thing to do.

To here's my version of it:



I used automotive paint for the basecoat..

Painted the lighter shades first.. am using acrylic paints.

Drew the details with markers.. I used to paint this, but you get decent paint markers now.

Need to drop into the nearest Channapatna handy-crafts place and pick up more of these cheap knock-offs to mod.
