Matryoshka

Matryoshka's are like people. They have the most detail and adult appearance on the out first layer. However, as you peal off layer after layer, the smaller they become, with less detail. Every facade they put on is hollow, until you get to the last one; the smallest, the child.

Daruma Doll

I want a Daruma Doll. They intrigue me. It's a Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma. You color in one eye when you make a wish/goal, and you fill in the other when it's complete or fulfilled.
When the Japanese play red-light, green-light, they don't say "lights". Instead they say "Daruma-san ga koronda", which means "The Daruma Doll fell over". Those funny little things.

Matryoshka

Matryoshka have been an interest to me lately(also known as Russian nesting dolls). The way they close up inside themselves reminds me of people; how they grow in empty shells just for show, while the actual part that's not hollow is the baby. Baby heart. The word is fun to say too.
