Book project with a new visual interpretation of the Russian classic fairy tale by Alexander Pushkin
Illustrations are inspired by the classic works of Ivan Bilibin and decorated with a huge number of Khokholoma patterns
Khokhloma is a Russian folk art design named after the village where it has been produced for over 150 years. The bright, lacquered, red, black, and gold designs are ubiquitous in nearly every Russian household, where it is most common to find Khokhloma wooden spoons, dishware, serving containers, and vases along with other decorative art pieces
