Help on russian/ukrainian culture
Hi everyone !I need some advice from any of our fellow members who have any experience in slavonic lore.
Some context ! Im have two friends one whom family comes from russia a long time ago and one who is born in Ukrainia.
They owne a little russian/ukrainian restaurant named Baba-Yaga in my town. I would like to make a stitching for they to hook in the restaurant.
But I have no idea and not many experience in slavic culture. I know what a Baba-Yaga is - thanks for the net ! - but thats all.
Can you give some advice ? what models can suit ?
Thanks in advance !
hello,
I would suggest that you will try to find cross stitch items with the word "vyshivka". I dont know what it means, but it is in many Russian magazines names.
You can find many examples in this forum, maybe you will like one of them.
Good luck Edited by Puppy at 2019-5-15 12:33
Yes, Baba-Yaga an ugly old woman who owns magical items and endowed with magical powers.
She knows how to conjure, fly in a flying mortar (a pounder), lives on the border of the forest in a hut on chicken legs.
A classic Baba-Yaga is represented in Panna designs:

and friendly, well-minded Baba-Yaga

But in Russian (Ukrainian) tradition Baba-Yaga does not wearing black clothes.
The hut on chicken legs is the perfect symbol of Baba-Yaga:

hello,
I would suggest that you will try to find cross stitch items with the word "vyshivka". I don ...
"vyshivka" is transliteration "embroidery", "cross stitching".
Search from "vyshivka" will give only 21 links on this forum. Alas. (((
Russian (russian-language) magazines:
Formula (russian Cross Stitch Gold, Формула рукоделия)
Cross Stitcher Russian (rus) (Вышиваю крестиком)
Sandra Russian. (Sandra. Вышивка)
Embroidery for the Soul (Вышивка для души)
Embroidered Picture (Vyshitye kartiny, Вышитые картины)
Fashion and Model Cross Stitch. Russian (Мода и модель. Вышивка крестом)
Wonderful Moments. Russian (Чудесные мгновения)
and other.
Ukrainian Magazine:
Embroidered Paintings (Вишиті картини)
Ukrainian Embroidery (Українська вишивка)
Майстерня вишивки (Embroidery workshop, Ukranian Magazine)
and other.
But I don’t remember Baba-Yaga’s schemes in them.

Not "a chicken hut" but "wooden hut standing on chicken legs":)
This is an illustration (OwlForest company) of Aleksandr Pushkin’s verses "There is a green oak by the sea"(Александр Пушкин "У лукоморья дуб зелёный"), but I dont have a pattern.
...
There is a green oak by the sea;
There is a golden chain upon the oak:
And night and day a wise cat
Walks around upon the chain.
...
Theres a mortar with the witch Baba Yaga
That moves about on its own,
Theres King Koschei, pining away over his gold;
Theres the Russian spirit ... and the scent of Old Russia!

“Classical” Baba-Yaga and a wooden hut on chicken legs of the russian/ukrainian tradition:
This is not embroidery, only pictures from Internet.
"Баба яга" is witch
