a painter in TaytayThese are the hands that create and shape something natural into something elegant and striking, giving it a universal appeal. From the rich craft heritage we learned from the Spanish in the 16th century, to eclectic influences, variety of locally available materials, and local artisans with excellent design flair and deft hands, Filipino design is one of the best in the world. Designers and engineers with university degrees continue to introduce new technologies and innovations but the furniture and handicraft industries still depend largely on the handing down of skills from one generation to the next.

Hands working and making things wonderful... Loved this post!
There's nothing nice that handmade, in my opinion! Great photos.
Wonderful post! When I look at painted toys or dishes, I often wonder about who painted them and how they did it. My Photo Hunt is up! I hope you get a chance to visit me, too.

Happy weekend!
So many people's lives depend on their hands... and their eyes.
I love the take on the theme. I love the way you were able to showcase our heritage as well.
I'm up.
Fantastic photos, and story! Great take on the theme.
I've been to Manila a couple of times. U guys have one of the most vibrant cultures in the world.
this made me really stop and study the images for a while. I really like the repeated rhythm of pattern the painter is working on.
Galing ng Pinoy! mabuhay ang Pinoy..masisipag pa!

Pinoys are really great with hands. :) Proud to be Pinoy.
Hi! What great take on this week's theme. I'm intrigued by what was going on in the first photo: are those petals being painted?
This week, I entered twice: two similar settings yet two totally different takes. Do check them out here and here.
cheers,

hello, *lynne*! i believe those "petals" are diecut tin, probably a shape of Santa's head. thanks for visiting.
I admire creative people like them. Such beautiful craft work.
