Colorful Weekend again! Nothing much going the week that passed, but I’m happy to present you with some flowers. Smile?
These were made by womenfolk from the small town of Candoni, Negros Occidental, in the hopes of deriving income from a creative, handmade industry as an alternative to farming. I’ll make a lengthier feature about them and their other crafts in the weeks that follow. The armature is wire and old newspaper shaped into thin strips before it is wrapped with colored plastic. Using some weaving techniques, the colored strips are shaped into petals and put together to make flowers of all sizes. Mix a couple of these with other materials like twigs or some artificial bamboo, they spice up a pretty large jar and a stretch of lonely room space. Pretty rad and very, very colorful!
Your turn! What colors are you digging right now? If you have something colorful to share on your blog, join the party and link up. Your blog post can be anything… photos, artwork, collages, a video, the list is endless!
