traditional costumesby ~WillowWaves

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / People

I always thought how funny Bollenhüte, those giant hats they used to wear in the Black Forest, look like, and how uncomfortable I would feel wearing one in public xD So I drew the girl in the middle, and drawing traditional costumes was surprisingly fun, so I added people from different regions.
From left to right the first two are from Swabia, the one in the middle from the Black Forest(my favourite, I think), the next one is from Thüringen and the last one from Friesland.

Edit: from the Dutch Friesland

I thought it was East Friesland

Once again I have no clue what I´m doing

Die sind echt super

Aber die ganz links ich bin Friese und hab so ne Tracht noch nie gesehen

~WillowWaves Aug 25, 2012

Ich denk das kommt ganz drauf an, wo du wohnst, ich hab ein bisschen im Internet nach Trachten gegooglet und meinte die sei ostfriesisch, es gibt aber anscheinend auch in den Niederlanden und in Dänemark friesische Provinzen, und die hier stammt aus Dänemark

Hab da bisschen was durcheinandergebracht.
Und übrigens Dankeschön

Nichts zu danken ,
ich hab mich nur gewundert den ich bin Nordfriesin.

How cute! I really like the character designs, especially the one in the middle. I really like those colors too

~WillowWaves Jul 29, 2012

Thanks a lot

Oh wow, I love looking at traditional outfits from around the world! I looked up the Bollenhüte on wikipedia and it made me giggle, but it actually has it's own little cute charm

I also love the colours chosen!
I love the characters too

I love the different personalities they all have!

Haha most of Germany´s folklore is not my taste, I especially can´t stand the music, but I think that´s probably also because no one ever made it cool if you know what I mean. I thought if Disney ever set a movie in for example the traditional Black Forest, and if the heroine wore a Bollenhut, it would suddenly become awesome

I wanted to draw the characters in their traditional outfits in a fresh, pretty way, not like you see them in old museums.
I still like most other country´s traditions more, I love to listen to irish folk songs for example. And I think it´s really interesting to see different outfits from all over the world too

I'm actually going to Germany for a couple of days this summer and I'm excited to learn more about the folklore! I actually find the folklore that is less popularised to be more interesting because then I don't have any skewed perceptions of them. I don't know, perhaps it's because I love things that are more mysterious to me

But I do understand what you mean about seeing them in a fresh pretty way instead of an old museum.
But I agree, Irish folk songs are AMAZING to listen to!

Oh cool you´re coming to my country

I wish you much fun there although it may not be the most spectacular place in the world haha xD We have almost no sea I hate that! :/
