Wow, this is the first time I've ever thought a site could have used a neat little flash gimick.

Seeing them all out at once kind of ruins it. :( Nice art, though, but I think that's why I miss the experience.

And if anyone every buys some nesting dolls for $1500. I'll be willing to personally travel to your house and kick you in the head.

wtf is a nesting doll? and is there a significant difference from say, an icelandic nesting doll? if a bunch of russian dolls build a nest under my eaves, what's the best course of action? this link is just a piss-poor information source. disgrace to the web, really.

Very cool. The Strauss one was great on so many levels. Four levels, to be precise.

I don't really know who Jeff Kline is, but I already don't cotton to him.

Jen Sbraglia's are cool--and relatively economical!

Yay, crash! YAY!!! Not only is that photo awesome, but the whole base section (truncate the URL up one level) rocks as well. Pugs is awesome, they is.

Nifty dolls. I especially liked Carson Ellis' with the descriptions of who each doll is.

Jonson, this one appears to be hemorrhaging.

I saw this set of nesting KISS dolls in Boulder a few months ago. Someday they will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.

Angry Modem wants to make some Matryoshka.

Interested in the history of this kind of doll?

I would like to make some of these dolls.

Though I like several sets, I think I like Adam Bayer's dolls the best..

Looks like they updated the site a little, too. There's a set there that wasn't there last night.
