Linocut PrintPaper size: 37cm x 37cm / 14.5” x 14.5” with deckled edges. Certificate of AuthenticityMy love for ancient primitive art is the reason I keep exploring traditional  folk art alongside my fine art painting practice. Relief printing (block printing) is one of the ways I connect to primitive art forms through hand carving and hand printing. Each work is made with love for the unknown roots of the collective existence.Each print is unique, they are handmade, thus the colour density and tiny details may vary. They are all signed and numbered on the front.                                                     Materials: 145g Zerkall paper with deckled edges  (the lovely Zerkall Paper logo is visible at the right bottom corner when it's held up against the light.

Picture a tiny village in Eastern Europe, surrounded by forests and vineyards. Roses and daisies riot in front of small white-washed cottages. A tall-steepled church dominates the dusty village, and the road to the church is filled with blazing colors. It’s the matrons of Ratiskovice, Czechoslovakia, on their way to church in their richly embroidered...READ MORE

Hello all, Today I will talk about the costume, and a bit about the embroidery of the Borshchiw region, West Podillia, Ukraine. This lies in the extreme southeast corner of Halychyna, [Galicia], as defined by the Austrian Empire. This is the corner of the confluence of the Dnister and Zbruch rivers, both of which were significant borders for a long time. The Zbruch was the westernmost border of Moscow's Empire prior to the Revolution, and subsequently the border of the Soviet Union until they invaded Halychyna on Nov 1, 1939, in the early days of WWII. The Ukrainian territories west of this line were Never part of the Muscovite Empire. This part of the Dnister formed the border with Bukovyna, another province of the Austrian Empire. Slightly further west the region of Pokuttia [part of Halychyna] also lay south of the Dnister. Thus this region lies in very close proximity to the regions of Zastawna, Horoden'ka and Sniatyn, all of which have significant local embroidery traditions, and about which I have written articles. In Sniatyn the primary embroidery tradition was white on white, in Horoden'ka a rusty red, and in Zastawna a multicolored riot. In contrast, the embroidery of Borshchiw was primarily black. Many sources describe the embroidery as done with 'kucheryavyj show', or 'curly stitch'. In fact, this is not a distinct embroidery technique, but rather the same stitches which were used elsewhere, but executed in a heavy wool thread, resulting in designs which were raised, and formed more by texture than by outline. The details are best admired in bright daylight. I will talk more about the actual embroidery in my next article. The arrangement of the embroidery on the inset/sleeve follows the same three part canon as is found in Pokuttia, Bukovyna, Eastern Podillia, as well as further south in Moldova. Here is an example from the village of Vil'khovets'. It was common for there to also be embroidery on the front. And a schematic of another shirt from the same village. For festive shirts, the most common cut was the inset cut with the inset sewn parallel to the body. The inset, together with the front and back fields was gathered around the neck. This resulted in some restriction of movement of the arms, which was considered to show elegance and restraint. The majority of the older preserved shirts are of this type. For everyday and for less formal shirts, two other cuts were used, which allowed full movement of the arms. The more traditional is with the inset set in perpendicular and above the body pieces thus: The other is known as 'boycut', and is essentially the same cut as is used in men's shirts. This was early on only used for everyday work shirts, but later was also sometimes used for festive shirts. It may be made with or without a cuff; if there is no cuff, the end of the sleeve is left open. The shirts were often made short, as in the above examples, but were never worn this way. An extension was sewn to the waist to make them full length, this enabled the lower part, which wore out faster, to be replaced easily, and also, it was often made of a coarser cloth. The shirts were most commonly made of hemp, or with hempen weft, and imported cotton warp. Here are a couple photos of the Hnyzdowski family, taken in the village of Pylypche, the first in 1905, the second in 1920. An overskirt consisting of a rectangular panel, the obhortka, was wrapped around the waist from the back, and held in place by a wide sash. This commonly had narrow stripes woven at either end and along the bottom edge. Commonly one or both corners were tucked up into the sash for ease of movement. You will notice that the married women above tucked up the right corner, while this unmarried girl has tucked up the left corner. The sash was wide and long, and used by both men and women. Here is one from my personal collection. The pattern is complex and executed in dark and subtle colors. This one is about 4" wide and almost 4 yards long. For a sash to hold well, it must circle the waist at least twice. In the Borshchiw district, the outfit was usually worn with an apron, unlike other districts in the area. This was a simple rectangular panel, with woven horizontal stripes. In some villages such as Khudykiwtsi, there was a wider panel with designs close to the lower edge, and in a couple of villages, such as Hermakiwka, the apron could be woven with larger kilim type designs along the entire length. This outfit is from the village of Pylypche. This is a closeup of an apron from Kudryntsi. This one is from Hermakiwka. This little girl has on an exceptionally fine apron. Later on, when home weaving began to wane, The obhortka was sometimes replaced by an actual skirt, in which case the apron was also made of bought cloth. Many necklaces of coral and other beads were worn, as well as necklaces with coins. Take another look at the image above. As you can also see by the above images, single girls wore a band of ribbons on their hair, and married women wore a namitka, which later was sometimes replaced by a kerchief. Either of these was often worn over a cap, chepets, which covered the hair. Under the cap the hair was wound around the head, often around a ring of twigs or tow, to form a distinctive cylindrical shape. The local wedding crowns are very distinctive, as you can see here. There were, in fact variations on the crown, as each bride attempted to make hers special. Moccasins over footcloths were the early footwear, but these were early on replaced by boots for those who could afford them. Men and women both sometimes wore sheepskin vests with the fleece turned to the inside, called leibyk. They usually had a decorated panel on the front, and were only waist length, in contrast to similar vests in neighboring regions, which were hiplength, and in Bukovyna, could even be longer. Men's shirts were of tunic cut, and generally reached the knees. Narrow linen pants were worn under the shirt. The front and back were made of a long rectangle, with a hole for the head. The sleeves were set in perpendicular to the body, and there was a square gusset under the arm, and triangular panels under that to widen the bottom for ease of movement. Work shirts might have no embroidery, but dress shirts would have a narrow band at least around the sleeve ends and front opening, as above. It may have no collar at all, as seen above, It may have no collar but with the neck opening embroidered, it may have a narrow band collar, or a narrow fold down collar. A collar would be embroidered at least at the edge. Sometimes the band of embroidery would have a second band of floral embroidery next to it, as in these examples, and the mannequin above. The hem may also have a narrow band of embroidery. It was customary for the pieces of a man's shirt to be joined by an ornamental joining stitch which was done between the pieces. There were several different types used. Exceptionally fancy shirts may have several of the narrow bands of embroidery done lengthwise on the sleeves, as well as on the body where the sleeves join it. The sleeve may be of several narrow bands of cloth with joining between each one. Or it may have both, as in this example. The men wear the same kind of wide woven sash as the women. It has lengthwise stripes and designs woven in a dark color. This may sometimes be replaced by a leather belt of about the same width called cheres. In some villages, the narrow linen pants were tucked into the boots..You will notice that these young men are wearing straw hats with ribbons and other decorations. In others they wore shoes, or wore the boots inside the pants. Here is a group from Hermakiwka. The young man in the center is wearing city clothes, including a western style suit and a modern style Ukrainian embroidered shirt. In other villages the pants had decorative pleating, and of course, noone would dream of ruining that by tucking them into the boots. here is another example of wedding crowns. Notice that the short sheepskin vests sometimes had short sleeves in this region. They are wearing bought kerchiefs in place of aprons here. Here is a man wearing shoes with leather gaiters to simulate boots. In the winter, both men and women wore overcoats of heavy wool [svyta] or sheepskin [kozhukh]. The men wore cylindrical lambs wool hats, and the women wore heavy wool kerchiefs on their heads to keep warm. Here is a photograph of a winter wedding. click to enlarge. Thank you for reading, I hope that you have found this to be interesting and informative. Roman K. email: [email protected] Just a few more images of this costume. Some of them are being worn in the modern way with the hair uncovered. Here is a short video of a village band from this area. The band members are wearing schlocky random bits of costume [as musicians often do], but the people dancing behind them are wearing this costume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFREBhN9KWU Source Material: Lubow Wolynetz, 'Borshchiv, Its Folk Art, Customs and Traditions', New York, 1994 Liudmyla Bulhavkova-Sytnyk et al, 'Zhinocha Sorochka Borshchiws'ko-Zastawniws'koho Prydnistrovia', Published in L'viw, printed in Kyjiw, 2013 Liudmyla and Oleksij Pokusins'ki, 'Borshchiws'ka Narodna Sorochka, Materialy, Krij, Tekhninky, Shytva', Kyjiw, 2012 Lyudmyla Bulhakova-Sytnyk, 'Borshchiv Shirts from the Collection of Vira Matkovs'ka', L'viw, 2008 Oksana Kosmina, 'Traditional Ukrainian Clothing, vol 1', Kyjiw, 2008 K.

Tradition in a contemporary design, the Bunad collection marries past and present in an elegant way. Designed by Andreas Engesvik, the range features blankets that reference the colors of folk costumes (named “bunad”) from specific areas of Norway, combined with an eye-catching zigzag pattern. The Fram Oslo Bunad Blanket Nordland recreates the color palette of the costumes used in the three northern regions of the country. Blue meets orange and cream, with stripes in red and yellow also adding more vibrancy to this refined design. Woven in Norway, this blanket is expertly made from 100% pure new wool. The fine fabric is soft and comfortable to the touch as well as long-lasting. Please keep in mind that this blanket should be dry cleaned only.

110 cm wide (44"), 100% cotton, quilting weight fabric. Boro is a collection of quilting fabric designed by Parson Gray for FreeSpirit Fabric. It is comprised of 24 prints in 3 color-ways that continue the exploration of the Japanese folk influences started in the Spring 2015 collection, Katagami. Meant as an extension of that line, Boro weaves new prints and colors into the mix, creating an extension of the larger idea - a modern interpretation of the classic, folk traditions of Japanese fabric printing. Fabric is cut straight as it comes on the bolt. Sometimes, the design or print on the fabric is not straight along the grain. Please, keep this in mind so you can order the correct quantity for your project. Please note: actual colors may vary from picture due to computer setting variances.

Hand Embroidered Felt Alphabet Ornaments I've been embroidering since I was just a tiny frockdolly & I also read a lot of books about the craft, so I was inspired to create these hand embroidered letters having had such fun with my embroidered baubles every Christmas! These are an excellent way to celebrate the uniqueness that is your name, using your favourite colours - this is all about you! I use a variety of traditional & folk inspired stitches & I tend to freestyle a little as I go along (ok, ok, I make it up, but the results are so pretty!). I also use small patches of felt in contrasting or matching colours to add texture and tone. I have all sorts of colours of felt and threads in my stash so I can create to match your favourites or a particular colour scheme, it's up to you! Choose your main colour from the list below, and add your three additional colours in the 'Personalisation' box. If you'd like to see examples of what I've done before in your chosen colours, please contact me & I'll be happy to help. Don't forget to tell me what letter you'd like! As you can see from the listing pictures, I am steadily working towards having a full alphabet to show you, but don't worry if your letter isn't there, I can definitely embroider it for you! The back is left plain in the same colour as the front & each is built on stiffened insert so they're not all wibbly wobbly! I've attached a ribbon hanging loop to the top so the letter can be hung on a wall, door handle, along a shelf....basically, anywhere you please! I can also add shorter or longer ribbon ties depending on how you want to use your letter, just drop me a note to let me know what you'd like! Each letter measures approximately 5 inches (13cm) wide by 5 1/2 inches (14cm) tall.

A pair of earrings inspired by patterns of Icelandic knitted shoe inserts. I recreated a pattern from one of the exhibits I saw at the National Museum Of Iceland in Reykjavik. In the old days wool shoe inserts were worn in soft shoes made of sheep and fish skin for extra comfort and warmth. These earrings are my own, unique way of preserving the traditional folk pattern. They are made of small glass beads and the ear studs are made of sterling silver.

If you're looking for an engaging, efficient way to practice or assess comprehending traditional literature, this is it! This print-and-go set of 6 comprehension passages (written in 6 styles of traditional literature: folk tale, fable, tall tale, legend, myth, and fairy tale) AND questions will help you effectively target traditional literature with your students! Each of the 6 passages comes in 3 different reading levels: below, on, and above grade level (with 3rd grade being the "on grade level" passage). This way, students all get the same text exposure and comprehension questions, but at a level they can read independently. This traditional literature passage set comes with original passages. Answer keys included! Anonymous differentiation is used in this passage set. A star represents the above-grade level text, a circle represents the on-grade level text, and a square represents the below-grade level text! These passages make for great: differentiated homework, small group work, whole group teaching, reading centers, reading warm ups, and more! Even better, every file comes in digital form! These digital files are compatible with Google Slides, Google Classroom, and PowerPoint. Using cold reads (unfamiliar texts) is the perfect way to determine a student's true ability to comprehend.  These passages were written specifically to support the reading skill or strategy they are assessing, and to make your job easier as a teacher--simply print and GO, no prep needed! What are you waiting for?!
