June 2003 Trip
Arts & Crafts from Bulgarian Orphanages &
Children's Homes
All of the art shown below was picked up on
our June trip. Most of the pictures come from the
Panagyurishte home. The dolls are from Brestovitsa and
the cards are from the Lom orphanage.
The framing was done by a shop in Sofia and
they were transported in a suitcase on my return trip to the
US.
All of the pieces from Panagyurishte are
inscribed with the name of the home and the name of the artist
- written by the art teacher right on the bottom of the piece.
We framed them so that this writing would show (many thanks to
Judy Ridgway for her great taste in frames!)
We're trying to figure out the best way to
sell these items to raise money for the benefit of these
children
and would love
your feedback.
The above picture (13" x 13") is done using
sand - wonderful texture (detail at right)
These two pictures were both done by the
same gal (pictured below) from the Panagyurishte Orphanage.
The sailboats are 23.5" wide by 18" high and the sunset is 22"
wide by 16.5" wide
This is an incredibly wonderful stitchery
piece. The detail is delightful (shown above)
