In all areas of our existence, we return to the origins, to the basic elements. We encounter this trend in food, clothing and why not in home decorations. People want to live as naturally and cleanly as possible. We leave behind everything that means chemical and industrial and turn towards bio and natural.
This desire for a return to nature we have also encountered in decorations Mariana Hincu The story of the creations from corn husks started from the desire to create her own bio rug for the kitchen. Fortunately, she didn't stop there, she started creating baskets, candle holders and flower bouquets.
The technique used in making these decorations is unique and in places purely mathematical. The husks are soaked in warm water and left to dry a little. After which each husk is gently split down the middle following the striations, the strips must be 1 cm -1.5 cm wide.
After this stage, the actual weaving begins, giving birth to these creations, everything being directed with the help of a large and thick wire needle, and in the end we can enjoy unique decorations.
From these small corn husks, baskets can be created that give any room a special touch when used, especially in combination with a decorative candle. To bring even more nature into our home, we can fill them with walnuts, chestnuts or a small pot with flowers.
A great deal of work goes into making them, and this is why Mariana loves them, always ready for a challenge.
Floral arrangements can easily decorate the living room or even the kitchen. Bouquets can be colored in various colors to match and harmonize with the decor. The advantage being that they last a very long time unchanged.
The beauty of working with corn husks lies in their malleability. Products made from natural fibers add a plus to any room.Creations from corn husks, whether they are baskets, floral arrangements, rugs, flower bouquets or the wonderful Christmas tree ornaments, are a guarantee of tradition reinvented in the form of beauty combined with utility.
