I originally posted this paper pattern in December 2010 with the caption “Poor Man’s Christmas Ornament.”

I wrote:

When my daughters were still quite young, we spent a snowbound weekend cutting out and assembling dozens of paper birds to decorate our first post-divorce Christmas tree. We used sturdy white Bristol board, and loops of shiny cord to tie the folded wings to the birds’ bodies and fashion hangers. More than twenty years later we still have about thirty of them left. They’ve long outlasted the box of cheap dime-store glass ornaments we bought that same year, but we tend to lose a few birds each year to visitors who want the pattern. The birds that are left have become heirlooms of our household - emblems of sweet times spent together, and of difficulties overcome and only dimly remembered.

This is for new followers who have recently joined, and long-time followers with long memories who have persisted over the years. Consider this an early holiday greeting from me to you.

Art by Ukrainian folk artist Tetiana Pata (1884-1976) from the village of Petrykivka (after wich the distinctive local art style of folk drawings was named). Petrykivka artists used drawings to decorate walls ans ceilings of the houses, furniture and sometimes clothes. The pictures are from the album printed in 1973. Scans are of good quality, so feel free to save the favs and zoom in as it's not easy to find such a quality while searching on Google.

Мистецтво української народної художниці Тетяни Пати (1884-1976) з села Петриківка (від якої названо самобутній місцевий художній стиль народного малюнка). Петриківські художники малюнком прикрашали стіни та стелю будинків, меблі, іноді одяг. Малюнки подано за виданням альбому 1973 року. Відскановані зображення хорошої якості, тож не соромтеся зберігати що сподобається та наближати картинку, оскільки непросто знайти таку якість під час пошуку в Google.
