Design for Futuristic Fujara

Posted on June 13th, 2008 by jsurba.
Categories: design, foto, music instruments.

The idea of Paul Marshall about making slovak traditional overtone flute called FUJARA out of PVC is not lost. More than that Nadishana  encouraged  Max Brumberg, experienced fujara maker to build one, which became the name Futuristic Fujara. They both put new ideas to the construction, so this new beautiful sounding music instrument which actually combines 3 instruments in one has influenced Kuzhebar Design to develop special designs for it.

The results are here to see. Two Futuristic Fujara designs in brown: opaque and glossy, one in balck and one in bronze.

To buy Futuristic Fujara and to watch instructinal and demonstration video please go here.

We developed also suitable fujara-bags made from esthetic leather imitate called "nappa", which are very light and easy to clean.

New designs of Futiristic Fujara are coming soon!!!

Magic Kui-Gorozh Eggs

Posted on March 17th, 2008 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, design, pyrography.

All over the world exist old legends, tales and rituals connected with eggs. They are known like symbols of life and rebith. Also in a mokshan culture exist an interesting tale connected with an egg.

Mokshan people say that deep in the forest grows an ancient oak with a magic egg inside, the egg of Kui – Gorozh. Kui – Gorozh is a magic creature, a mixture of a snake and an owl, who can realise all wishes of his owner.
To become an owner of Kui – Gorozh one should find the Kui – Gorozh’ egg and brood it up.

Inspired by this tale I created some Kui – Gorozh’ eggs (of course with the help of Kuzhebarian Gods!!!).
Who know’s may be someone of you will be lucky to brood it out?
Do you want to try?

Good news! Our art prints and postcards are available!

Now you can have your favorite atrtwork of Julia Surba on a postcard or like an art print. Postcards are two side printed and art prints are made on  tibetan hand made kahari-paper* and on cyperus papyrus**

kahari paper* is traditionally made from plant Canabis sativa, which grows high in Himalayan mountains. The paper is hand made and has a beautiful texture. Each piece of paper is unique, and the artprints look like hand painted on it.

Cyperus papyrus** also called Papyrus Sedge or Paper Reed is traditionally made from plant Cyperaceae, which grows in the wetter parts of Africa. Papyrus has a good recognisable texture and looks very impressive. Because of that the artprints looks lifelike on it.

All these stuff and much more is available in our new online shop, called KUZHEBAR STORE. You are welcome!
