Description The Ukrainian Pavuk Straw Mobile Kit Refill Pack contains 200 straws so you can keep on making pavuks with your Sacred Straw Spider Talisman ~ Ukrainian Pavuk Kit! Pavuk (which means “spider” in Ukrainian) is a traditional geometric mobile with deep roots. These hand-crafted talismans were traditionally made during Christmas time. They were suspended from the ceiling by long horsehair strands and were believed to trap negative energy and bring prosperity, blessings and protection to households. These intricately woven, airy structures with web-like forms are made from harvest straw. They reflect the interconnectedness of community and the cycles of life. The straw mobiles are found in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Estonia, Norway, Russia, and many other countries. Note: The pictured pavuk consists of 1 large pavuk, 5 medium pavuk, & 17 small pavuks. Which is a total of 93 full size straws. The book Making Mobiles ~ Create beautiful Polish pajaki from natural materials is also awesome if you really want to go hardcore with designs. This straw refill pack comes inside a resealable bag which can be added to your kit. You will receive 200 eight inch long Alberta grown wheat straws.
