Love your gallery! Can I ask where you get the bases for your Russian Doll sets before you paint them? Or do you make them yourself? They are all so well done!!

Hey, Thanks so much!

I get my blank sets from Krasnaya: www.krasnaya.co.uk/

That's probably not much help unless you're based in the UK, so it might be a good idea to look on ebay for "blank nesting dolls/matryoshka/russian dolls"

But the guy from Krasnaya has always been awesome and very reliable to order from :) (Smile)

All it takes is practise and you'll get there. It's taken me years of work to find my own style of painting and designing. Good luck with the classes :) (Smile) art classes can be so fun and helpful

No prob & I look forward to seeing more of your designs ^‿^
I absolutely adore your shoe designs, they are to die for!

They've actually made me interested in trying it out on a plain pair of shoes of my own to give them a whole new colourful look although I've never quite used anything as a canvas other than well, a canvas :P (Lick)
