    1. Whistle

    Traditional product of children. Children made it from willow with a knife.

    2. Corn Leaf Dolls

    The base of the figure is a flexible wire, the head is artistically curved from a corn leafes The doll skirt is made up of several layers of corn leafes, of which the lowest is not necessarily the highest quality. After two days, when the doll dries, the hair and the face are finished. The most important and the most difficult thing to do, however, is to capture the right shape and movement and to inhale the life of the figure.
