Creative work

The master grows rye in her own field; crops it, dries and processes. Her family helps her in everything. In her works, Lyubov uses oat, wheat, flax, poppy stems, but most of all she likes rye stems – high, long and thin.

Lyubov Lytovchenko has also mastered weaving items from withe. Combination of two old crafts – straw and withe weaving – give her a possibility to create unique, original things. Among them there are floor vases one meter high decorated by straw flowers; wall inlays from withe also decorated with straw bouquets.

The master also likes to weave modern inlays, wreaths, bouquets, tree twigs, angels, head-dresses, decorations and accessories for girls’ dresses, hats, baskets and other things.

As for ancient symbols, Lyubov weaves Christmas spiders, diduks, makes an original work – The Sun (or Yarylo in other words). At present she is in search of images of astronomic bodies: she wants to represent the Moon and stars by means of rye stems and ears.
