Guizhou, 2006
This silversmith, creating exquisite silver accessories to be worn by Miao minority women in Guizhou, has his own clever way to "mass produce" his handiwork.

A sterling photograph!
How interesting! Did you buy one?
Ciao Francisca, wonderful! I love manual work, where everything is unique and not mass-produced, too bad that few people have them!
It must be expensive for this smith to work with silver, or?
Of course(smile) I like to know where Guizhou is...in the South?
There's a story there... I wonder how he lost his finger.
I love his hands...
I've never watched a silversmith work, but I used to hang out drinking coffee in the back of a goldsmith's shop annoying my friend who owned it, and it can be very dangerous work.
Super picture, Francisca, of course.

Great shot! I also wonder how he lost his finger...
The human mind can be so agile and creative...if it's allowed the freedom it needs...
A great hand study.
