While I watch television in the evening, I do handwork and needlework and I knit. Here on this photo I decorate a sweater for upcoming Christmas holidays.
Otavalo, has a population largely made up of the Otavalo indigenous group. They are famous for weaving textiles, usually made of wool, which are sold at the famous market. During the market's peak, almost one third of the town becomes full of stalls selling textiles, tagua nut jewelry, musical instruments, dream catchers, leather goods, fake shrunken heads, indigenous costumes, hand-painted platters and trays, purses, clothing, spices, raw foods and spools of wool.

... this one is a 2cm very cute babystar which must have been an incredible act of patience and skillful handwork to fold and fix it.
It made me aware of the wonder of friendship, so immeasurably precious and important especially in 2020, a year of uncertainty and worries about health, social distances and (for many people) also financial survival.
But - all the good things that happened to me (and there were lots) appeared like under a magnifying glass and left me looking at this past year with a deep thankfulness.
All the best for you, dear Flickr friends, in this New Year of 2021. May many of your wishes come true. 💙💙💙
HMM to all participants!

'Blue Magic'... An artist from Multan doing 'KashiKari' on a lamp made from camel skin.These unique vases and lamps are typical to a certain region in Pakistan and are artistically hand crafted from camel skin using an art form called "kashi kari" The production is limited due to the intricate nature of art and the scarcity of artists.The floral and geometrical patterns and the white glazes embellished with rich shades of turquoise and deep blues are the hallmark of Multani ceramics, and one continues to be impressed by the beauty of these creations. Not only can these be used as aesthetically appealing utilitarian items, but they can enhance the decor of any interior, and the ceramic tiles continue to be used for the embellishment of architecture.Kashi Kari is method of hand painting ceramic products, in particular tiles and pottery, also known as blue pottery. This is a craft that is esteemed universally for its superb beauty and intricate craftsmanship. A huge theme of the work is the use of blue and turquoise paint.
Kashi Kari is a centuries old craft. Some of the oldest pottery excavated from archeological sites has been dated to 900 AD. It is believed to have originated from Kashghar, China (thus the name) and influenced by Persian culture owing to the extensive use of blue color and certain motifs
In 1992, Josef Zotter begins to produce chocolates in the back office of the confectionary shop in Graz and invents the hand-scooped chocolate, a mixture of inventiveness and handwork, filled in layers and plies. Also new are the 70 g format and the chocolate coating instead of the cubed breaking pattern. The varieties of the first hour: poppyseed-cinnamon, pumpkin brittle with marzipan, hemp, crudités, champagne and grilled walnuts with marzipan. In 1999, the Zotters decide to bank entirely on chocolate. In the former stable of the parental farm, the zotter chocolate manufacture is opened.
back to doing some handwork.
some people work their fingers to the bone while SOME people just lie there and sleep.

Micro hand stitching on a Chinese robe. Find the white lump of silk thread below and to the right of IN on the penny.
Penny is there to give you some idea of how tiny these stitches are!

Tomorrow would be my father's birthday, so in memory of him I took a picture of a small jewelry box that he bought for my mother.
The box is handmade and made of rosewood.
HMM!
