IF: Homage

IF: Homage
My homage to mothers.
(I am in the mood of doing something more folk art-ish. I am trying to combine Chinese folk art with Russian nesting dolls and throw in a little bit of East European flavors into it.)

I love it! My first thought was "very traditional Eastern European". I especially love the angel wings.
