In Guatemala, there are many people living in poverty, like the woman that lives in this mud brick house.
Yet, in the middle of the poverty, these women artisans make some very beautiful every day objects, such as the huipiuls (blouses) and cortes (skirts) that they wear.

Beautiful indeed.

I actually do beadwork like this, but usually with a loom. I've also used a nail and board, but I like the comb idea to keep the threads separate. Talk about needing focus and concentration....
