Maria Chumarna. Vyshyvannya doli. Symbolism and Technique of Embroidery. (Embroidery of the Fate)
"An investigation into secret codes of the Ukrainian ornamental symbolism, which elaborates the theme of the space being of a human in the streams of lightful energies of the material world, is partly revealed by Maria Chumarna in the book "The Code of the Ukrainian Embroidery". She discovers at a new angle the opportunities of a person's influencing the fate, the health of his / her own body, prosperity of the family and the clan by re-addressing sources of spiritual knowledge of our ancestors.

The specific feature of the new book is that it is approximated to the needs of those who work practically on restoration of samples of ancient embroidery, who search for new "old" ideas in creation of their own clothes. 56 types of sewing techniques, patterns layouts, which were prepared and systematized by the master of artistic embroidery Vira Chypurko, are offered here.

The book is recommended for the widest range of amateurs of the Ukrainian folk art."
