peruvian handicrafts

|



Some days ago I found a very interesting website of a museum dedicated to anthropology. It has a huge library with information of artcraft from all the world.
I spent hours looking for ceramic, clothes, and every kind of handmade objects, completly fascinated.
I am glad to share with you this wonderful discovery.












As the collections are online you can easily perform searches.
I have prepared some posts about different cultures to show the things I like the most. The first one is from Peru.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel around the world researching craft forms?
And to later on open a school where you can learn how to be completely self-sufficient, making your own things with your hands.
I have been thinking about this for a long time now.

Well, that's exactly the idea that has been lingering in my mind after my great trip to Peru..
The colours, the crafts: I wish I'd learned some of their skills.
