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!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! Did you buy one?
ReplyDeleteCiao Francisca, wonderful! I love manual work, where everything is unique and not mass-produced, too bad that few people have them!
ReplyDeleteIt must be expensive for this smith to work with silver, or?
ReplyDeleteOf course(smile) I like to know where Guizhou is...in the South?
There's a story there... I wonder how he lost his finger.
ReplyDeleteI love his hands...
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteSuper picture, Francisca, of course.

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