Selling folk-art on the park

Many indigenous women earn their living by selling folk-art on the parks. This photo was taken at Iglesia de la Merced in La Antigua Guatemala.

Beautiful! And I mean both the photo and the textiles. There are some textiles produced in West Africa which are somewhat similar in design. I have always had a love for beautiful fabric, even though I don’t sew.

I wonder why it is that folk art is always so appealing? Is it because it speaks to the native in us all? I just wonder . . .

I have always been in awe of the skills of the Guatemalan women. The textiles, the patterns are works of art. Your photo demonstrates community.
