Любов до вишивки привила мен моя прабабуня ще в 90-х. Пам’ятаю , як висв у бабц килим з величезними квтами таких кольорв, що в хат не видно було образв ...з рушниками, адже всю увагу вднмав той килим. Коли похав навчатися до Львова, як наче потрапив на атракцон, там у сорочках ходили в будн, в свято, до церкви попити кавусю. На той час купити бдному студенту вишиту сорочку, це як купити космчний корабель сьогодн) я виршив вишити соб сам. Збирав зразочки, вчився технкам вуаля, моя перша власноруч вишита сорочка вже на мен! Щораз вдосконалювавши свою технку вишив п’ять сорочок для себе! коли я побачив, що вишивка займа весь мй час, не вистача часу на малювання, я виршив поднати сво хоб, тож почав вишивати на дошках) В мой бблотец рзно регональна вишивка, та я завжди прагну до нового, незвичного, того що не можна знайти в нтернет. Ось, до прикладу, робота за мотивами рушникв Кровоградщини Древо Роду Вльха, темпера, лак Розмр: 75.3 / 32.5 / 2см Для продажу #юрарафалюк #вишивка #вишивканадошц #рушник #деревороду #художник

The day of the Ukrainian written word and language falls on November the 9th. To celebrate this, the National Museum of Ukrainian Decorative Folk Art has created an "Alphabet of Decorative Art" (Abetka dekoratyvnoho mystetstva). The posted items will usually begin with the next letter of the Ukrainian alphabet. In some cases, it will appear somewhere in the spelling of the word. The explanations in Ukrainian are very interesting but rather long. Therefore, we will keep our English translations brief. The first word is Avtoportret (self-portrait). Here we see the self-portrait in pencil on paper (1950) of the Ukrainian visual artist, Kateryna Bilokur. More information including her paintings can be found in earlier posts on the Shevchenko Museum's page.

Nazar Chornoshlychnyk posted that he is feeling blissful for having recently played bandura at the Taras Shevchenko House-Museum in Kyiv. This is how he describes the surroundings: "There is a high bush cranberry (kalyna) near the house. Inside, an ancient kilim, and Shevchenko's personal shirt (not a copy) with white embroidery on the collar. The performance took place near Shevchenko's paint brushes and other artist's material".
