My doll exhibited at the EPS kiosk during Kiosk Fest 2016.
Part of becoming a fully realized member of the Erstwhile Philatelic Society is submitting an object to the ETOAS. I prepared and mailed a matryoshka doll I had found at an estate sale. The doll had been quite inexpensive because it was missing the smallest solid doll.
This project is how I ended up with the name Matryoshka for my artistic pursuits within this community.
Before mailing, I decorated each doll with EPS-related imagery ranging from pigeons to mail. I replaced the innermost doll with several instant zoo capsules. I also enclosed a note explaining the mostly-fictional providence of the item.
When it was time to submit my first artistamp design in 2017, the choice of image was obvious. I had kept the innermost doll for my altar, and I took a photo of her on my windowsill.
