I LOVE this show !!! My grandparents were born in Hungary and lived next door to us on the farm in Virginia, so my Mother talked Hungarian to them sometimes. I discovered Hungarian embroidery at an event in town, and went out and bought an embroidery stich book, a few threads, and found a Dover library book with Hungarian designs. The first designs I stitched were more pastels, until I studied the subject more and and started using the bolder colors. When I got tired of sewing I used the folk art designs and transferred them for watercolors. Thanks so much for the lovely presentation - LOL
Ikr, I mentioned in previous videos how much I love mexican & Latin American visuals, but didn't realise the connection until I started researching for this video ☺️ thank you for watching! 👋 Laz
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS FOLK ART TALK AS MY FATHER WHO WAS FROM BUDAPEST TAUGHT ME HOW TO PAINT THE FLOWERS WHEN I WAS A CHILD. I AM NOW DECORATING A SMALL TABLE WHICH MY HUSBAND MADE FOR ME. BOTH MY FATHER AND HUSBAND HAVE DIED BUT I HAVE MY MEMORIES AND WILL DECORATE MY TABLE WITH HUNGARIAN FOLK ART AS I REMEMBER. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ART.
👏👏👏 So very interesting Laz, thank you for the 🇭🇺 Hungary history lesson, the craft symbolism and differences in regions. That's exactly what I love to know about art - everything! I've always noticed there is symmetry in alot of their craft like mirror images. Any special reason? Thank you for reminding us we are all the same, related and we belong to one race...the "human" race. 🌏
I believe the reason behind striving for symmetry, is that these decor elements usually were added onto symmetric things eg. dresses, gates, wooden chests, etc. It's just my educated guess though :) thank you for watching
Just stumbled upon your channel and when I saw the title, immediately clicked. I have Hungarian ancestry. The folk art motifs you spoke about have intrigued me. I recognize them from some embroidery pieces we’ve had in my family. And btw “Little Shop Around the Corner, ” the film with Jimmy Stewart, is a favorite around Christmas for me.
My mother recently bought me an art book, which goes over a few Hungarian folk art projects. This video was fascinating and excellent in helping me better understand the art form , thank you (:
@ “The Basics of Folk Art” by Jerry and JoSonja Jansen, I realize now the entire book is not focused on the Hungarian Folk Art however there are a few chapters/pages of Hungarian folk art ! (:
Hello from Italy. I appreciated very much this design topic, as always beatifully edited. You D&B are unique . Thank you for this refined introduction to hungarian symbolism.
Grazie Mille Paola 👋 glad you enjoyed the video - positive comments such as this are what keeps the channel going, it makes all the hard research & editing work worthwhile. Thank you for watching!😊 Laz
Pretty amazing things I never knew, I was born in Moshon Magyovar in 1956, My mom loved to embroider, in fact when she visited there she brought back embroidery thread which I hold near and dear. We escaped Hungary in 1956, I lost my parents and my sisters I reside alone in Land O Lakes Florida, my favorite past time is stitching cross stitch,and embroidery, thank you for the history lesson
I collect painted folk art (Australian style native flowers, so not really traditional folk art) painted on wood as decor. Folk art makes me smile. Puts me in my happy place. I think it's a beautiful art form.
Just looked up Australian folk art after reading your comment, & you really opened up a can of worms there for me haha 😂 will have to read up on it, these look fascinating! Thanks for watching ☺️ Laz
Love learning about other cultures and to see the embroidery is especially inspiring. Is it mainly a type of crewel embroidery or are they using regular floss?
Hi, I'm by no means an embroidery expert, but just like the design styles, the techniques and types of materials used are also differ from region to region ☺️ thanks for watching! 👍 Laz
. When we left Grandma and Grandpa's at night, we used to say, "Kissing in the pig pen!" Thank you for everything! They died when I was 10. I found out how to spell it: Koszonom Szepen. .
