In the top picture you see a woman stitch and sew her clothes.
In the picture at the bottom you find the man on the bike who is selling buttons, treath, needles and cotton.
I love this, Ben! What beautiful work we can do with our hands & such a shame that so much of it is becoming a lost art .....
Artist Reply: Can you imagine them doing it today? Next summer I will try to make some pictures from the so told "ringsteken". They have a run on a working horse and try with a lance to get a ring of an inch.
I am glad you liked it :)
Artist Reply: A lot of wooden shoes are still worn around. Maybe more than we think. When I think of last week i have seen about 50 man walking on them...
