Happy Hollidays everyone!!! Wishing you all the lovliest stuff!

/In the Bulgarian tradition we have our version of Christmas carolers. They are called  koledari  and are only men. They sing from house to house in the village wishing health, happiness and wealth to everyone. It is believed that their song chases away the deamons/

I did attempt some time ago for Elitsa, but it turned out more like a development drawing, in the sense that I found how she looks and feels. But my aim was a moment from the book, when she combs her hair.. and I did tons of sketches, all of them so bad :D

It lingered in my head for awhile but I think I finally have what I was looking for!

I have a quote from the book on the drawing that describes the moment, but it is in Bulgarian! And I totally don't do justice to the novel with my translation but I tried to:

"We came out on the meadow in front if the watermill and we saw Elitsa, standing on the marble stone right from the door, combing her hair with a bone comb. Because when Elitsa unbraided her hair, it was so long that it would drag on the ground so she had to step high enough to be able to brush it." From the Bulgarian novel "Time of Violence" by Anton Donchev

I don't know why I got so obsessed with her!

Grandma March Day 🤶 Another name is Baba Marta is a holiday celebrated in Bulgaria , on March 1st. Martenitsas , usually in the form of a wrist band, small yarn dolls, or tassels, are created by combining red and white colored threads and are worn on that day and throughout March. They are worn until a stork or a blossoming tree is seen, symbolizing the coming of spring, warmer weather, and well being. Once the stork or blooming tree appears the Martenitsa is taken off and hung on a tree. It is common in the spring to see trees festooned in Martenitsas. A common belief people share, is that "red" stands for "life/birth" and "white" denotes "anew/on clear grounds". Combined together they mean "newborn", "rebirth", and "a new beginning"; a celebration of life and survival. Another popular explanation is that white stands for wisdom and red for good health, which means that anyone giving you a Martenitsa, is wishing you both throughout the new year. . . . . . #martenitsa #мартеница #бабамарта #babamarta #bulgariantradition #myphotos #bulgarianholiday #българия #bulgaria
