Ukrainian Kilim designs from the Carpathians

Kilims are flat woven rugs distinguished by their intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colors, that are found in the textile traditions of regions like Ukraine, Iran, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Moldova, and the Turkic areas of Central Asia and Anatolia. Though united by shared weaving techniques and the absence of pile, kilims from each region reflect unique cultural identities and aesthetic sensibilities.

In Ukraine and Moldova, kilims often feature stylized floral motifs and symmetrical patterns, and are deeply embedded in rural folk traditions and used in homes as wall hangings or ceremonial pieces. Traditionally, they also were often believed to have possessed magical protective powers; repelling evil eyes and providing protection for the family, based on their unique design and the symbols used.

The art of kilim weaving spread to Ukraine through historical interactions with Turkic nomads and then later the Ottoman Empire.

Ранок на відьомському обійсті. Маю надію, що вдасться ще помалювати для себе і закінчити цей скетч!

I have time to draw for myself again (yay!)

So these two appeared - a witch and her shapeshifting partner, living in a mountain village of Verhovyna, in Hutsul region of Carpathian mountains
