Brazilian Artisan working a blouse on the "Tenerife Lace" techniqueTaken by Wally Sosa 2008Kodak C310This week in Picture Perfect the theme is Magical. To my delight, today I was able to walk a little more and mom wanted to go to the International Artisans Festival in Old San Juan. I think there's nothing more magical that been in an international festival. Visiting all the kiosks with artisans of different parts of the World and appreciate their beautiful crafts. You can hear the different accents, the tourists of different countries and even music from different parts of the world. This photo accompanying the post is of a Brazilian lacer doing Tenerife Lace. I'm always in awe with the laces. I found it so magical how a small, thin and may be insignificant thread, with the help of a needle or other tool and the skill of the lacer, and transform it into an art masterpiece that will last for years to come, even after the lacer is no more in this world. If you want to see all the photos from the Festival you can see them in this album.
