Russian Windows

I absolutely love the old wooden houses of Russia. They have so much history, their delicate trims and fancy scroll work are a treasure for all to see. In my travels to Russia, I came across this house and loved the beauty that it stills conveys.

I had my art club students make a window using all the elements you still can see today when traveling across the countryside of Russia : Lace curtains, flowers in the windows, carved shapes on the shutters. Very fun, and educational too.

Here is one of our inspirations....


Here are a few of our windows.... and yes the shutter do close.
