"Theembroiderer" The light of an old oil lamp is twinkling inside a winter tent in the snowstorm-stricken tundra. To make its flame brighter a girl is putting some dry moss into it. Threads of reindeer veins, osseous thimble, a needle… A needlewoman puts skins for cutting under her knees, and tenderly flattens thews with her sweet hand. She measures with her fingers and cuts with a sharp knife. A girl sewed a kuchlanka (a kind of fur coat) and went out into the village street. And there the best of lads saw her and fell in love with her; he lost his rest and soon married her. Old craftswomen pass on their skills to young girls and edify them; “Learn to sew perfectly, for the one you are in love with could be proud, not only of your beauty but also of your art.” Embroidery is a traditional Eskimo art. Women embroider beads and make patterns from the leather shreds. There are motives of national poetry in every single ornament. Eskimo folklore is based on talks with spirits. A habitual life event can also be used as a plot for folklore song, giving an idea for a new pattern ornament: Evrazhka the lemming is running in tundra; it is running fast. Kirginaut cannot catch up with Evrazhka. Though there is no faster herdswoman than Kirginaut in the whole village, she cannot reach it.
