Art and Craft from the Chaco and beyond

Art and Craft Show 2009 Filadelfia, Chaco Paraguay





This is the coffee "corner" of our show. The background painting was made 4 years ago at the 75 year aniversary of our colony. We were allowed to use it as a backdrop for our food court. The food in the "cantina" is delicious. We have a lot of typical mennonite pastries and cakes and free coffee.


This hand carved indian is watching over the crowd. Brianna likes him!

The following painting and picture were made by another of my relatives who is also the head of our commity planning this show.




This is me, walking around the show, like I know what I'm doing:)




This is a coffee table made out of motor parts, palosanto wood and a glass table top. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship.


I'll be taking more pictures this afternoon, check in again soon!

P.S. A note to my sisters and cousin/s reading this: please leave a comment, so I know someone is reading this:)
