marushka 101
**Please: if you use this information in your ebay listing, be kind and mention this site as where you got your information, thank you.
the first marushka i ever got was only last year but let me tell you, it was love at first sight! i have only recently decided to get off my butt and start collecting these treasures.
i've noticed there seem to be two major stages of marüshka images: very simple and then they got a little funky and put some detail in there.
for a long time, i was asked "who IS marüshka?" and i could only say "i don't know!!!" well, i finally found out all i needed to know from "marüshka" himself -- well the two men that design marüshka® prints in grand haven, MI.
i was fortunate enough to speak with both men. they started making these linen silk-screens in 1971. they stopped making them in 1988, and had begun making new designs in 2000 but alas, have been discontinued again!!
as for the name marüshka, it came from the suggestion of a polish butcher and was agreed on for the "artist's" name as an endearment for a little girl.
