I found an amazing paper chandelier at the website for the
Polish Art Center. Just take a look at the marvelousness (is that a word?)
that is the chandelier. They are called Pajaki, which literally means "spiders of straw." It looks like a God's Eye base decorated with colorful cut paper flowers. Don't you agree that on a rainy day this would be a cheerful to look at?
I believe that this one is my favorite:
From what they say on the website, this is yet another folk art tradition that is dying out.
I would love to hear about other folk art traditions that you know of that other people might never have heard of. Links to photos would be great!
