Picture This #390 ~ Arts And Crafts

Good banner photo from Benni, has a good ambiance.
Thanks Anders for hosting this week.

Every year around Christmas there is an exhibition in our local Castle Waldegg, just up the hill from where I live. I took a shot of this hand coloured music book.

Silhouette Paper Cutting is a hobby of some in Switzerland, and has a very long tradition. We once visited a lady that did such silhouttes and she gave us this one as a gift.

I used to see this every day from my office window when I was a working woman. The train lines were opposite the office and someone used their arts and crafts for graffiti.

And here is another one, taken from a train at the exit from Basel Mainline Station.

  2. Hi Pat !! Wonderful shots for this week's theme!!That music manuscript in the first shot is beautiful. Looks quite old, I bet it's worth quite a lot of money!! I saw some examples of silhouette paper-cutting some years ago. It's very intricate work, needs a lot of practice and patience. Two very good captures of graffiti-art. Some of these artists are very talented!!

  4. What a stunning music book and a great photo of it. I also love the papercutting, your picture shows it off nicely. And great graffiti in the bottom too; wall art fascinates me and I am glad when it is recognized.
