Pajaki - Mobiles of Straw


Pajaki - The literal translation is "spiders of straw".
Located 90 kilometers from Warsaw the town of Lowicz and
surrounding villages comprise the center of what many consider
to be Poland's most colorful folk region.
A typical village house from this area was full of colored flower paintings,
fancy paper cut-outs and mobiles made of straw and colored paper.
The mobiles or pajaki are delicate creations hand made by the women
and girls of the villages as decorations for their homes.
