Siberian Paint Haircut

ARTSY CRAFTS The découpage is one of the most sophisticated forms of decorative art. This art form originated in France in the 17th Century as a decorative art. Furniture, bookcases and crockery were artists’ canvases for decoupage. Though France takes the credit for refining découpage, the art form doesn’t solely belong to them. This art is heavily influenced by Ancient Chinese cut work, Siberian felt appliqués and Polish folk art of paper cutting. In the 18th Century, découpage spread throughout Europe and it became a fashionable pastime, especially at the Italian, French, and English courts. Pretty and bright floral designs, cuttings from pictures printed especially for this purpose, were applied to fans, screens, and windows. The French Art Deco designer Jean-Michel Frank used découpage on some of his earliest Parsons tables in Paris in the 1920s. Découpage got popular in the United States in the 1960s, as a popular decoration for boxes, trays, wastebaskets, lampshades, chests and screens. Like all art forms, découpage art has also evolved over time. Artists have not just simplified the process of creating this art, but are also actively teaching this to people on various digital platforms. We got in touch with  Khadija Kiran, a crafter and art blogger from Creative Khadija, to learn more about the découpage art.

paint to the reverse side to prevent the image from showing through to the front once it’s découpaged. Experiment with tearing paper instead of cutting it to create a deckled-edge look. Eliminate any stubborn air bubbles by pricking them with a pin and pressing down firmly with your fingers. The more finish coats of medium you apply, the more the paper images will recede into the surface, making them look like they were painted on. Material Plastic vase or flowerpot Sheets of découpage paper PVA glue Scissors Glue brush Method 1- Make sure the pot is clean, dry and grease free. Cut the découpage paper into different shapes and sizes. The pattern on this paper lends itself to shapes of about 3cm across. Choose yours depending on the size of the item and the pattern. 2- Paint a section of the pot with glue and stick on the pieces of paper, trying not to leave gaps in between or overlap them too much. Continue until the surface is completely covered. 3- Make sure the pieces at the top are big enough to tuck inside the rim of the pot and go underneath the bottom. Finish with a final coat of PVA glue.

lost his job at a barber shop after the invasion and now spends most of his time at home playing computer games. “I feel like everything I was going to do became impossible, everything collapsed in an instant.” Of the roughly 275,000 children age 17 or younger in the Donetsk region before Russia’s invasion, just 40,000 remain, the province’s regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told The Associated Press last week. According to official figures, 361 children have been killed in Ukraine since Russia launched its war on Feb. 24, and 711 others have been injured. Authorities are urging all remaining families in Donetsk, but especially those with children, to evacuate immediately as Russian forces continue to bombard civilian areas as they press for control of the region. A special police force has been tasked with individually contacting households with children and urging them to flee to safer areas, Kyrylenko said. “As a father, I feel that children should not be in the Donetsk region,” he said. “This is an active war zone.” In Kramatorsk, 16-year-old Sofia Mariia Bondar spends most days sitting in the shoe section of a clothing shop where her mother works.

SLOVIANSK, Ukraine -- Anastasiia Aleksandrova doesn’t even look up from her phone when the thunder of nearby artillery booms through the modest home the 12-year-old shares with her grandparents on the outskirts of Sloviansk in eastern Ukraine. With no one her age left in her neighborhood and classes only online since Russia’s invasion, video games and social media have taken the place of the walks and bike rides she once enjoyed with friends who have since fled. “She communicates less and goes out walking less. She usually stays at home playing games on her phone,” Anastasiia's grandmother, Olena Aleksandrova, 57, said of the shy, lanky girl who likes to paint and has a picture of a Siberian tiger hanging on the wall of her bedroom. Anastasiia’s retreat into digital technology to cope with the isolation and stress of war that rages on the front line just seven miles (12 kilometers) away is increasingly common among young people in Ukraine’s embattled Donetsk region. With cities largely emptied after hundreds of thousands have evacuated to safety, the young people who remain face loneliness and boredom as painful counterpoints to the fear.
