Dolls or Seeds?

While looking up books on Amazon about black holes and peacocks (I know, I have eclectic interests!)(by the way, the newly released book, Strut, the Peacock and Beauty in Art, is going to be amazing!), I came across an item called Russian Doll Gourd Seeds. I was struck by the image and since I have always been enchanted by sets of Russian dolls, I just had to order...until I continued on the ordering path and realized WHOA! this wasn't about dolls at all, but about a package of 10 seeds. No mention was made that in order to get to the doll part a person would have to grow, dehydrate, clean, and THEN paint the gourds.

These are nothing more than miniature bottleneck gourds...and just seeds at that, even though the ad implies the dolls are the purchased item? I know, I know, read the small print always but a customer would have to know quite a bit of gourd culture and how-to to get from seed to dollie!

I like the dolls though, don't you? Makes me want to try them with some of my stash in the shed. MmMmmmmmm...I might be able to do a face, and perhaps some holiday images of holding a pumpkin, or tree ornament, or Easter egg.  Another project in the making!
