Handmade still start with the letter “H”
(letter “H” story challenge – idea: “frizztext“)
A long time ago there was a generation
when they called something handmade
it was made by hand, and their own
no project was too fine
and they almost never feel too fine for some projects
no project was too small and almost no one too big
they just go ahead
no matter how old they were
then they were never too old.

Absolutely wonderful photo and post Drake ! I love the tenacity of these women.

The ‘old girl’ who looks up is my fathers mother – she was nearby 87 years when I “shot” her in the middle of the 1990s – when she was as ususal buzy doing something… 😉
I love to find “words” in photos, paintings, sculpturs and so on
– and love to find “photos” in words I read… 😉
Very nice photo!

Yeah agree in your words “created from their hearts, wholeheartedly”
– so it was, It was not only routinely but with the heart… 😉
Where have those days gone?? Cool photo 🙂

Thanks – I think that those days or some like them will come back – life is a circle or generational moves in circles – old virtues and vices come back in later versions, it has happened plenty of times historically that things were modern has become fashionable again later after a few generations or more… 😉
“A busy mind is a happy mind” ; “Busy hands clear mind” 🙂
Agree… 😉
I love old photos. Keep posting please!

Yeah new photos don’t have take over the old photo
– there’s space enough for both… 😉
Luckily we don’t have to choose between old & new, but we can afford to embrace both 🙂
Totally agree – it’s not old or new but old and new… 😉
Great photograph and post, Le Drake!

Thanks – age more between the ears that on the skin… ‘hahaha’
I agree with your thoughts on the post. I’d add that handmade, individually crafted needs to continue on through the generations.
Thanks for your support at this point, I appreciate it… 😉
Agree that handmade, individually crafted needs to continue on through the generations – indeed it needed… 😉
