New Year tree of the Omsk region: cozy mittens and a map in patchwork technique
23.12.2023

The region’s fir tree at VDNH is decorated with cozy tenderness by knitted mittens by Marina Drozdova, a master of ornamental art knitting. She is famous for her ethnographic author’s collections of mittens.

Her mittens are in private collections of many famous collectors of ethnic costume.

Local craftsmen also made a panel with a map of the region, where they presented all the districts of their region in patchwork technique. Large printed balls were made in the same color scheme and patchwork technique.

The works, which are created using cotton, silk and other types of fabrics, amaze with the richness of imagination, virtuoso execution and patience of needlewomen. The works of Omsk craftswomen are known far beyond the region and have won awards, including at patchwork contests in Europe.

The motifs of paintings by Mikhail Vrubel, a native of the Omsk region, were also chosen for the New Year decoration.
