HOW THE ARTWORK IS
CREATED
During
the spring, birch bark
is peeled from
select birch
trees (without
harming the
tree). The birch
bark is pressed
flat and specially
treated. This treatment
gives the birch bark
a leather-like
feel and look of unsurpassed
beauty! A piece of
wood -- pine,
lime, maple or Siberian
Cedar -- is expressly chosen
for
color and theme and prepared
for the base. A design, to scale,
is created on
paper. This
design is then traced onto the treated
birch
bark, which is
then hand
cut. Each work may use several layers
of
birch bark, each
perfectly fitting in with the base.
Sections are
then stained and
preserved with a wax polish.
Each
work is painstakingly created
with detail and love. These
works
are so beautiful -- the
back
of each
piece is even a work of art
--
etched
with Gennady Pavlov's
personal
stamp, name of work,
creation
number and date of
creation.
Seeing is believing!
