Mystical birds of Ancient Kuzhebar

Posted on September 14th, 2007 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, design, pyrography.

Kuzhebarian tales say about three mystical birds, who are providers of different power-sorces. For mortals, however, the birds were dangerous and indifferent at the same time. One of them symbolizes darkness, another light and the third one wisdom. Kuzhebarian people believed that each of these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody has to choose with which of them to be connected. People give their emotions, intentions and thoughts like food to the birds and birds provide them a power they have. One gives the power to complain or to be angry, another the power to be joyful and  to laugh, and the third one gives access to wisdom.

I decided to materialize these three birds in a pyrography-trilogy. Here you can see the first of the birds, the darkness bird, also called the “gloom-bird” in kuzhebarian mythology. 
As usually described in kuzhebarian tales it  is shown crying with the symbols of power it gives and takes above and under its head. The symbols on the frame depict the ways the gloom-bird can be connected with people.

The crazy idea to make pyrography on a skateboard is realized. You can read the ancient kuzhebarian tale about the Father of the Sky and his daughter just from the surface of this pyro-skateboard.
This new pyro-object of mine was also featured in the pyrography online magazine “Pyrograffiti” with other interesting news about pyrography from around the world.
