Aserrín (sawdust) is used often in Guatemala for decorations, especially the world famous Holy Week carpets. Sawdust is dyed with bright colors to provide the color and contrast of the different designs. This photo and the next are the last in the Guatemalan Christmas Decorations series.

Does anyone know where I can buy Aserrin in Montreal? Mi nacimiento just doesn’t look the same without it! 🙁
