19-12-2013 Something from magic, from a fairy tale, and from pastorals
“Maiden green stood under the snow
No one but the hare did not love her
The Christmas came and she came to us
Sweet smelling guest, please come in!
Christmas tree beautiful as a forest,
Christmas tree stay with us!”
(fragment of a Polish Christmas song)
WATCH VIDEO FROM DECORATING A CHRISTMAS TREE
Christmas tree is already with us. Not only rabbit out of the woods loves her, but we as well, very much. In a moment, you'll love her with all your heart too, because it is adorned with submitted works. Among those works we found your emotions, moods, griefs and smiles! You sent us above all your stories. Your Christmas tree decorations are a story about you.
Thank you for this tale. You touched us and bringed out smiles on our faces. In connection with these smiles ... if the author of dumplings, which did not forget that every self-respecting dumpling has a filling, is reading this… Zuzanna, kind regard to you! We liked it. We liked everything. Absolutely everything.
So to all of you we send Strima Calendars, let us be reminded in the whole year 2014. It will be our pleasure to be your host in this form ;).
Main prize TEXI BALLERINA goes to Ms. Weronika Zygmunt from Grudziadz for a “pair of carollers” as we called them. This work caused a warmth and good memories, in each of us. They have something from magic, from a fairy tale, and from pastorals.
The surprise could be a grant of the second and third prize. We did not anticipate this before, and yet it happened. Christmas time is an exceptional time.
Second prize TEXI TUTU goes to Ms. Dorota Sobolak from Krakow for a dragon and her legend.
The third prize, also TEXI TUTU receives Ms. Karolina Borys from Swidnik for a incredibly beautiful tiny teddy bear, made with attention to every detail and intricate precision.
