Hello! My name is Elena Orlova! I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and studied at the St. Petersburg State Theatre Academy. My first and main profession is theater design. I created costumes and sets for more than 75 plays in major theaters across Russia and Baltic countries.
My second beloved profession - design and manufacturing of whirligigs. I started by making them for myself and as gifts for my friends. Seeing how much joy it brings, I decided to spend more of my time working on whirligigs. Now I live in Finland in a quiet and beautiful place. Here fresh wind blows and my toys come to life.
For me, this is happiness!
Some imagination, skillful hands, a light breeze - and a few pieces of wood begin to move, come to life and bring joy! In the garden, on the terrace or balcony, whirligigs can withstand any weather. The wings are made of Siberian larch and waterproofed. Everything is handmade and each whirligig is One-of-a-kind. It can be a wonderful gift for any holiday and a way to decorate and brighten up garden and home. The toy can be made-to-order or you can order by selecting sample in the gallery. Welcome!
