I don't know realy...maybe because my Grand-parents came from Poland (close to UA border) and my name sounds from these countries.... is that : the call of my ancestrors ?The first post concerns the admiration I have from a young UA designer : Halina, since a long time.I made a chart of one of her picture. I called it "Halina's day" (all the works she has to do).I would have liked to meet her, I made searches where she lived. A young Ukrainian man searches for me... but neither in the flat she had, nor in the museum where she exposed : nobody knows where she is now (they remember her… that’s all !)...I'm very sad, I would have liked to show her what she could do more to diffuse her art.if one day someone who knows Halina reads my web site , please translate to her.Anyway, if not, I hope you appreciate that "travel in UA". </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274499863841294386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH3341qPiKrnfLrEXm9yarLfolRYL_YMAT1i7ej4KwYkBGwyg6_PcgKIKG5UTc_Llo8tElefJVX6xVxWwssBpmeVlPAFvvhyphenhyphenf95kodqyush8YNPhhjy9k924GtnTw7y9wcIM6a5M1Al9CP/s320/P1000567petit.jpg" border="0" /><span style="color:#333399;">Будни Галины - Halina's Days - Les Journées d'Halina</span><br /><a class="quickedit" title="Edit" onclick="'return" href="http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=4704041669893010038&widgetType=Image&widgetId=Image1&action=editWidget" target="configImage1"></a><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">An embroiderer, Marina, left me a message on a Russian forum.

По одной из ее картин я сделала схему для вышивания. Я назвала ее 'Будни Галины'. Я была бы счастлива повстречаться с ней, я пыталась и пытаюсь найти где она живет. В моих поисках мне помогает один молодой человек с Украины. Но, к сожалению, ни в ее прежней квартире, ни в музее, где она выставлялась, не знают, где можно ее найти. Они помнят ее - и это все. Грустно, я бы хотела показать ей несколько способов к более широкому распространению ее искусства. Если когда-нибудь эти мои слова и мой сайт прочтет кто-то, знающий Галину, пожалуйста, переведите ей.Я извиняюсь за то, что не могу распространить схему, сделанную по чужому изображению, не имея разрешения на такое распространение. Я надеюсь на ваше понимание. Я по-прежнему надеюсь найти Галину. Например, в октябре в Бельгии состоится выставка вышивки из Львова, а это ее родной город. Еще одна надежда на встречу.<br /></p><div align="center"></div>Pirouettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13925561269181617142noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704041669893010038.post-13298919718186213112009-05-16T21:14:00.007+02:002009-05-16T22:58:16.763+02:00Me, my GrandMother...<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">" Me, my Grandmother...

Grandma stepping over the wire netting !!!</div><br /><div align="center">Then we crossed a graaaaand field... first, we heard the "Léon Léon" of the peacock, then "gurgling" of turkeys cocks, finally the " pouôôôôt pouôôôôt " hens announced our arrival... Grandma too, had hens, turkeys, rabbits, cats, dogs but if I liked going to her friend it was to see (and heard) "Léon" !</div><br /><div align="center">Sometimes, much to my delight, Grandma asked me to go alone, to her friend's, to bring her a basket containing treasures of the garden.<br />- " <em>Go "Rousse</em>" (means red-haired person) over there ...
