Nightmare Before Christmas Nesting Dolls by Peggy Prouty

Prints available for purchase from Etsy. US$150

This is the ideal franchise for a set of nesting dolls, and Peggy Prouty does a great job painting her sets up.  Using mod podge to give Oogie a little extra "pop" is a particularly nice touch that sets her sets apart from other Nightmare Before Christmas Nesting Doll sets.

Crafts: Studio Ghibli Nesting Dolls

Studio Ghibli Nesting Dolls by Stamford, England-based Alice Darkling

Prints available for purchase from Etsy.

"I spent a couple of days painting some nesting dolls with characters from two of my favourite Studio Ghibli films - No-Face from "Spirited Away" and Totoro from "My Neighbour Totoro".

The large Totoro and the No-Faces are individual Russian dolls that open up to reveal a surprise inside - GOLD!! (Or, golden wrapped sweeties...) I wanted to put acorns inside Totoro but couldn't find any so sweeties will have to suffice. The No-Face dolls have his white mask on one side, and then when you turn him around you see his big true mouth. I used golden sweeties to mimic the gold that No-Face hands people in the film."

"Sometimes you just gotta paint your monster themed nesting dolls in Basil Gogos' style, know what I mean? These were fun to do, and might be the only set I paint this way. Frankenstein's Monster ended up looking more Strange than Karloff but that's okay."

Crafts: Addams Family Nesting Dolls

Addams Family Nesting Dolls by Mothmouth

"My new matryoshka doll is a mixture between the original Addams Family show and the 90's movies that I've loved for many, many years. The collection still lacks Lurch, Grandmama and Uncle Fester (and Thing, that would be quite a challenge!), but I might paint them later. I hope you like it! And oh, Morticia & Gomez are same sized because I didn't want to ruin their equality. ;)"

Crafts: Doctor Who Nesting Dolls

"Doctor Who Nesting Dolls" by Jigglykat

"I’ve been painting Whoniverse nesting dolls since 2009, and this particular one is my third and latest set of the Ten Doctors. They were painted last October for A Certain Someone’s birthday. Won’t say who, but you’d certainly recognize the name. I’m bummed that I couldn’t include Matt Smith in this set since I only had ten dolls, but the next one will definitely have him in it."

Crafts: H.P. Lovecraft Nesting Dolls

"H.P. Lovecraft Nesting Dolls" by Mike Bilz

"What can I say, I'm a sucker for Lovecraft.

These little beauties are my submission to next month's "Doll Haus" nesting dolls group show at Rothick Art Haus. From largest to smallest we've got an Idol to the dread Cthulhu himself, a Shogoth, and a cultist (still clutching his Necronomicon)."
