The idea of stitched ‘Pavouk’ came from the 3D straw decoration very popular in Belarus.
“Salamiany Pavouk” – 'Straw Pavouk' – is one of the oldest Belarusan traditional talismans made of straw.
It is considered a sacred thing because its shape and the process of its making repeat God’s geometrical way of the Universe creation.
A 'Straw Pavouk' is done at the beginning of a new year believing it to serve as a protector for a home and family for that year long. It can catch an evil power and destroy it.
(reminds a 'dreancatcher', yeah..?)

It is usually hanged to the ceiling or doorway or often at the baby's bed. It can be hanged at the window or in your car, as well. Or, you maybe want to frame it.

The pattern design is based on Belarusan traditional coverlet 'ripples-on-water' patterns.
It is stitched on perforated paper.

*The word ‘pavouk’ means ‘a spider’ in Belarusan language.
