Christmas tree decorations - From a piece of wood to a work of art
Let us take a little excursion into their origins:
- The first person whose hands come into contact with wood is an experienced wood turner. The jewelry base is carved from natural wood, using various types of wood (pine, linden, maple). In the hands of the master craftsman, a piece of wood is transformed into unique and magical figures and takes on impressive shapes: for example, cute Christmas angels, sparkling poinsettias or small colorful bells.
- The future work of art then goes into the hands of a Ukrainian artist - the master of Petrykivka painting . In 2013, this painting technique was added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Typical of this painting style are the flower-like ornaments and patterns as well as the contrasting bright colors.
- First, the artist selects a base and primes the wood with it, then a sketch of a unique pattern is created. The masters of Petrykivka painting use gouache paints on a honey basis. Finally, the finished figure is covered with glossy or matte varnish.
Each wooden Christmas tree decoration is unique and distinctive! No two are the same. Each work represents not only an artistic but also a cultural value, each pattern radiates its own Christmas aura.

What if I want to buy an exclusive Christmas tree decoration but don't see a suitable color or shape in the catalog?

Why can the same items differ in price?
Our painters each work at their own pace. The fineness of the work and the uniqueness of each pattern are reflected in the price of the wooden Christmas tree decorations.
