The craft vendors in Panajachel Guatemala make the picturesque landscape around the Lake Atitlan even more attractive to the tourists and visitors.
This is a peddler indigenous vendor carrying bundled handmade merchandise on her head.
You can see them and photograph them on the beach, along the stoned promenade around the lake on the streets or small markets.
Sometimes they agree to pose for a small amount of money:
Their meticulously handmade artwork with geometric motifs are replicating the bright and bold colors of the Central America environment.
I found interesting this scene of an indigenous craft vendor carrying all the merchandise, and trying to make a phone call from a public telephone:
The indigenous people are selling them and also wearing them as traditional costumes. This is a beautiful traditional needle crafted Guatemalan woman shirt.
Guatemalan crafts also can make nice decorative art prints home decor or accessories.
Very nice photos and a lovely post (still can’t do the likes). Traveling in some parts of India, we found places where every home has a loom. People weave cloth for their own clothes. The lovely red fabric in the photo looks a little like a traditional Naga design (from near the border with Myanmar).
Thank you so much. Yeah, viewed from afar, things in the world resemble somehow and it is not uncommon to find people thinking in a similar way…
