2023 — “Among Enchanted Grasses”
The 2023 Calendar “Among Enchanted Grasses…” has been composed of the embroideries by Svetlana Babushkina (1926–2015) and accompanied with the verses of Nikolay Zabolotsky (1903–1958), an outstanding Russian poet of the 20 century. The needlewoman, with a needle and threads, and the poet, with a pen and word, put their thoughts and feelings into their creations:
How the world changes! And how I change as well!
I am known by one name only, yet
That which is named by me
Is not I alone. We are many. I am a living being.
«Metamorphoses»: Translated into English by Daniel Weissbort
Let us live through 2023 with these creators.

Dear Galina,
“Among Enchanted Grasses” is a beautiful creation – you have an incredible team to work with! My favorite work is “The Birches”. The embroidery is exquisite, the stitches are breathtakingly perfect. She was such an artist!

Thank you very much for your wonderful calendar 2023. As always it is beautiful, special and again filled with pictures of your Mom's great art. I do love the combination of art and poems. I will read all English translations first and later will tackle reading them in their original language. And thanks to you I have the chance to improve my knowledge of Russian poetry at least a little.
