I fixed it?

Last year I bought a unicorn matroyska doll set from stocking stuffer display at Michael’s. I had thought about giving it to my oldest granddaughter but never did so I decided to keep it. When I opened it I fully expected another unicorn but instead there was a mermaid!

Oh okay I thought, magical creatures. But when I opened that one I found a sloth. Not really magical!

And when I opened that one I found a polar bear.

I didn’t think it made any sense at all so I decided I should make them all magical using some stickers from a Dover Emerald Isle sticker book and Mod Podge. I’d never used Mod Podge before so that was a new experience! Since it dries as a clear coating I thought that’s what would happen on the wood surface as well as the sticker surface. But it turns out it is a glue as well as coating so it was all a kind of gluey mess. But I was able to get that off.

Here’s the new set. Now the third one is a Brownie and the littlest one an angel or fairy. The littlest one worked better because the border around the angel/fairy is the same color as the wood. But I kind of like the Brownie even though he doesn’t work as well. There weren’t any characters that would cover the sloth entirely so there is a thatched house on the back of the Brownie one.

A pretty strange matroyska!
