Polish paper cutouts

From a blog entry by Ethnographic Museum of Warsaw, translated by me. The pictures mostly added by me, from various sources, all linked below. The cutout instructions at the end are also by the Ethnographic Museum of Warsaw.

People usually sat down to create paper works of art before Easter and Christmas. They were not created only to decorate the interiors of houses - people believed in the magical power of cut-outs.

Polish cutouts are very diverse. Łowicz cutouts, sometimes called naklejanki („stickers”) are probably the most popular in our country. You will find them on many folk gadgets. They are multi-colored, often round, depict floral and animal motifs, or situations from the everyday life of the village (cutout of this type is called a kodra; trans. note: other common types are gwiozda and tasiemka). The characteristic rooster from Łowicz consists of several layers of cut-outs glued on top of each other and thanks to that it gains depth and catches the eye.

Have you ever heard of Rawa cutouts? They are usually one-color, vertical, and their upper part is topped with two symmetrical roosters - we call them rózgi (singular: rózga). Among the paper works from the vicinity of Tomaszów Mazowiecki, you will also find those created in the form of abstract patterns in the shape of symmetrical squares and circles.

The area around Puszcza Biała and Puszcza Zielona is, in turn, a place where Kurpie cutouts are made. The so-called leluja is characteristic of this region. In these cut-outs you can see the base from which a complex, decorative tree-like form grows. On the base we often find symmetrically arranged birds or a genre scene. In Kurpie, gwiazdy are also created, i.e. round cut-outs with small, densely dotted geometric patterns.

Leluja and gwiazda patterns - source and source

These are not all types of Polish cutouts! We also distinguish Opoczno squares with cut-outs of plants or animals brought to perfection, Sieradz cut-outs combining various Polish traditions in this field, or openwork squares in Lublin with cut-outs resembling arrows.

It takes precision, patience and skill to create them all, but remember – practice makes perfect!

For those who’d like to practice with some simpler patterns the Ethnographic Museum offers five instruction sheets with cutouts from different regions. They’re in Polish but pretty easy to follow either way.

天羽間ソラノ切り絵イラスト原画展＠小田原駅東口図書館を拝見。すばらしかった。装画の切り絵原画と書籍の現物が両方とも展示されていて見応えがありました。原画サイズは意外と大きくてちょっとびっくりしました。

[dzis-po-raz-pierwszy]

Dziś po raz pierwszy o najlepszej wystawie, jaką widziałam w ostatnim czasie. Akurat w Berlinie, a żeby było prawie zabawnie - w Bundestagu. Nigdy bym na to nie wpadła, by szukać dobrej sztuki w niemieckiej izbie parlamentu. A znalazłam się tam przypadkiem, żeby pooglądać widoki ze szklanej kuli na dachu.

Marion Eichmann. Przyjemne, kolorowe odkrycie. Utalentowana Niemiecka Matka Marion od Wycinanek. Łatwo zapamiętać to nazwisko (podobno pokrewieństwa ze słynnym Eichmannem brak). Sight. Seeing Bundestag. Jaką ona wykonała pracę tym nożykiem! Architektoniczno-graficzna wyobraźnia.

Zachęcam odwiedzić jej stronę, doświadczenie bardzo satysfakcjonujące oczy.

How about 13 and 18 for the Hetalia Asks? Thanks 8)

13. Any cultural things you'd like to see discussed in Hetalia?

Hmm Lithuania and basketball would be entertaining but I think what would be fascinating particularly is something discussing the strengthening and solidifying the lithuanian identity in response to the harsh reprecussions enacted upon the nation as punishment for the January uprising of 1863.

I think it would be cool with Feliks to go into depth into polish craft such as pottery, wycinanki, pająki, and pisanki

Seriously tell me Feliks wouldn't be fascinated by pająki

18. Favorite siblings dynamic?

The baltics I mean I love seeing how a dynamic like theirs is formed through shared hardship rather than through blood. It's powerful in that way. In an odd twist it seems like Ivan's quest for his own family of sorts or friendship or whatever he deludes himself into believing it is, created a strong bond among the Baltics in opposition to him.

Liet's like that eldest sibling that feels like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders and cares so deeply that he can be overbearing. Raivis is young, insightful, and is still finding his potential. Eduard is the voice of reason and the glue that holds them together.

Having fun with the radial symmetry tool.

[ID: two illustrations the first is of wycinanki like flowers surrounding a star. The second is of a pale woman with brown eyes, wavy black hair, and brown glasses wearing a red dress with a lace neckline and a brown sweater. Behind he is a radial pattern of stars, ribbon, birds, flowers, and hearts.]
