Plush You 2009 : the matryoshka turtles

I am so happy to introduce to you this morning from the shores of the Baltic Sea, Anna and her two little friends Ekaterina and Varenka. They are very pleased to meet you and very excited about travelling to Plush You 2009 in Seattle this October. In the mean time they will be studying English and hanging out in the garden with the giant pink sea snail. 

It started off with just Anna and Ekaterina and then they found a little orphan stone turtle in a tea dish on the porch and well the rest is history in the making.

Anna is made with hand silkscreened fabric and wool felt. Her kerchief is a small remnant of a vintage linen and is removable , as is her belt or tiny turtle fastener.

Ekaterina has hand embroidered details on the silk screen and the littlest turtle Varenka is actually a tiny crocheted sea stone made with vintage crochet cotton and a very tiny hook.

I'm so in love with these little girl turtles! The little strap on the biggest one, and the kerchief are so adorable. Beautiful work, as always!!!

Margie, you are too, too brilliant. I knew you would amaze us but I never imagined anything so wonderful, they will be beyond compare in Seattle, I have instructed my brood to keep watchful eyes upon Anna, Ekaterina and Varenka. Bravo Margie! Oh, and so wonderful to catch up with you, more later!
