Our Carpet!

Our carpet was made under the direction of Marcos and his uncle, outside his uncles home. It was made entirely from sawdust, died a variety of colours, and with the aide of wooden frames.
It is definitely not a project for someone who wants to see results quickly!
As the sun came out, and the sawdust dried, it was necessary to spray it all down, both to renew the color, and to keep the carpet in place.
One of the challenges was to keep the stray dogs off!
Once finished, the carpets do not last long! Sixty men in a procession manage to destroy it pretty quickly!
