European Paper Mache Christmas
Decorations
The art of
paper mache. Old world
designs in this collection are
mostly from Eastern Europe, a
territory that historically saw
many changes through the years
in both borders and cultural
influence. Although
graphically there were many
changes, as some of the
territories no longer even
exist, many customs and art
forms continue to flourish
blending into new territories
and cultures. The artistry
has been preserved and passed
down through the generations.
The paper
mache recipe is environmentally
friendly, and the signature of
each piece is a base of
repurposed wood - just as it was
done years ago. The wood
bases are all hand-cut and
fitted individually to each
figurine. They are fashioned
from antique doors, floors,
windows and other wood sources
from Europe. The origin of
each wood base is identified in
the packaging and also serves as
the certificate of authenticity
for each design.
Each of
these paper mache figurines is
an original and exclusive
design, each representing design
elements from a particular
culture. You will find influence
from the Czech Republic,
Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria,
Poland, Germany and Russia
within each design. So many
Americans have roots in these
blended territories, and will
make a connection to our past
through this collection.
These decorations range in size
from about 10" to 18" tall.
