Czech/Polish folk art/craft question?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a type of craft from Central Europe involving beautiful pictures and crosses made out of some sort of grain (maybe wheat?)? I saw them at Polish fest here in the US several months ago, but they were very expensive. My mother in law had a Czech name for it and said she used to have one of these but her cat destroyed it. I'd like to get her one as s surprise for Christmas. But I've been creatively googling for a half hour and can't come up with anything other than generic "corn dolly" making, but the ones I saw at the ethnic festival were much more elaborate and complex. Thanks for any help!
Hey, I don't know if you meant it, but some kind of grain art is popular for a festival called 'dożynki'. It's polish harvest festival, when farmers are blessing their harvest, thanking God for it (by offering crosses, some constructions and such made of field flowers and grains) and presenting it to the community.
