#hohloma

Hello guys! Today I would like you to see a truly gorgeous piece of art made by my talented mom. It is her greatest work which demanded an enormous amount of time and effort. I can't say for how long she was knitting it, but I bet you it was more than long.

Just look at it:

Look carefully. And keep in mind that it was knitten from scratch.

Take a closer look and realize how cool my mom is.

The pattern is the same on the other side. Do you know what kind of pattern is used?

Actually, it is a key element of the traditional Slavic art. The style is called khokhloma (hohloma), or khokhlomskaya rospis.

Khokhloma is a Russian wood painting handicraft style and national ornament, known for its curved and vivid mostly flower, berry and leaf patterns (Wikipedia).

(The last picture is also from Wikipedia)

It says that khokhloma is a Russian style but, you know, I believe it's present in cultures of other Slavic nations as well. At least, it should've been shared at some point. After all, borshch originates from Ukraine, for example, but it is considered a Russian/Slavic dish.

I can talk about my mom's works and their meanings for eternity, but let me just say that she's tough, really tough.

The size of this masterpiece is 230*200 sm, it suits well for a king size bed. You can use it as a blanket or hang it on a wall - as you wish, in any case you won't regret getting it.

It costs $900, as this exact design is unique and there's no other blanket like this in the whole world. I'm not kidding.

If you are interested, please DM me so we can disscuss everything. Transportation fees and other stuff are included in the price, I'll deal with it myself. In case if you have to pay for getting a package in your country, I'll change the sum or give you back a needed amount (depending on a situation). I want to make everything as transparent as possible, so I can make a video with the blanket, and I can also make a packing video and a video at a post office.
