Natural Rye Straw brass-fountain-pen Ukraine and BelarusNatural rye straw is a material used in many art forms found throughout the world. We use natural rye straw to create the traditional Polish folk craft known as pajaki (pronounced "pah YAH kee). These chandeliers or mobiles made from paper and straw are full of fun and whimsy. The literal translation of pajak is "spider" and they symbolize good health and prosperity. Use these rye straws to create a one of a kind piece that's full of fun and whimsy!
