| African village and it's inhabitants batik |
A couple of years ago we took a ride to the Deerfield Craft Show. When this show is going it is quite large and there are many craftsman there trying to sell their wares. I found this piece along with many others at this vendors table. He said that his mother makes these along with others in her village. I have since forgotten his name and where exactly he comes from with his batiks, maybe Kenya, not sure. I know that I have his card somewhere and I will come across it one day. When that day comes I will credit him and his mom with this lovely piece. (Here is a fine example of posting right away, those things that you
know you are going to remember can sometimes fool you and you forget.) If I find out that any of the information regarding this piece is incorrect I will correct it.
This piece depicts villagers and the homes they live in. It's not a large piece, around 10 inches long and 4 or 5 inches wide. The colors are vibrant and the lines are clean. Very skillfully done. Hope you like it.
