Traditional Craft

I won't have much time this week for taking photos so I thought I would post some more pictures taken at the Peek into the Past Festival at Tocal Homestead a few weeks ago.

In this triptych you can see this chap making millet brooms that he was selling at the festival.

Well done, Babs. It is good to see that "handmade" is still thriving in little pockets here and there.

This is a great collage,you don't get many people making things like this anymore.
