Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
They are not so small as they seem.

A very different take on see/speak/ hear no evil. They make a real relaxing stitching change from that wonderful towel.

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
And here is one finish for a change- a tablecloth
It was stitched in DMC.

All so beautiful Lyudmilla and I love that tablecloth with all the Aussie birds and animals. I love those owls too, just wish there were a few around here instead of those noisy parakeets.

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
The owl theme seems to be very popular right now. I love them. Yours are no exception. I can see why they would be a nice break from your other projects. Thanks for sharing your updates.

Lovely owls! The geometric pattern - is it Ukrainian?

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
Yes, it is Ukrainian. Nowadays there is a trend for combining "geometry" with fruit and/or flowers. But it is a current "creation"- of the last 5 years or so.

This is the map of traditional patterns as they differ from one region to another. I am from Western Ukraine, so "Borshchiv vyshyvankas" and Hutsul cross stitch patterns are ours. Thanks for asking.

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
What an interesting way to show a map of the country. Sadly I don't think there is any particular design which denotes either Aus or NZ but I could be wrong of course. Both countries 'took over' from indigenous people already there and I know both Maori and Aboriginie peoples had their own native designs.

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
Wow! Beautiful work! The owls are really cool; the towel is exquisite and your tablecloth is stunning. The map showing all the different stitches is amazing too.

DH and I used to go to concerts of a Ukranian male voice choir (well, 8 men) and they often wore embroidered shirts with those designs, which is how I recognised them. They are called Orpheus, have you heard of them?

They are from Lviv. Their octet was founded in 2000, and is well known here.

Re: Podolyanka's WIPs
Are they still around? I haven't seen any announcements for concerts here in the UK for the past few years. They are incredible, such a glorious sound as they produce! They are the reason why I called two of my designs inspired by Ukrainian whitework "Orpheus" and "Lviv"

You choose the language in the right top and then can see in English the program of their tours for 2017- France, Switzerland.
Funny how a nation can be gifted musically. Personally I dont know a single Ukrainian man or woman who could not sing and sing well at that.
In my native town, small as it is, there have always been a male quartet. Here is the link to the latest one-"Accord". The one from the times of my young years was called "Obriy" and was known all over the USSR. They had fantastic voices and wouls sing at local events. I had heard them quite a few times live- the audience could never have enough of their singing, and it was always unforgetable.
Another male ensamble is Pikkardiyska Tertsia- these have been known as the best ones. Here is the link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikkardiyska_Tertsiya
When you hear them, you cant help goose bumps on your skin- so deep, so powerful, so beautiful the voices are.
You are the first person who showed real interest to my country. Thank you, Mabel
