Out on a Spin

Carousel, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

This is a child's favorite treat when Mommy takes him shopping. To a child on the carousel, it would seem as if the rest of the mall is stationary.

Banig

Ang dalawang bagay sa litratong ito ay kapwa likhang Pinoy. Ang nasa gitna ay isang pangtakip sa lamesa na ginawa sa pamamagitan ng sining ng gantsilyo. Napapaligiran ito ng dalawang patungan ng plato na hinabi. Kung papansining maigi, makikita ang paulit-ulit na disenyong apat na kanto.

The two objects in this photograph are both Philippine made. In the center is a tablecloth made using the art of crochet. It is flanked by two woven placemats. If examined closely, the recurring pattern of a square is visible.

Warm Welcome

Paoay Church, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

We thought we were just going to hear mass at the St. Augustine Church and go but were pleasantly surprised by some dancing at the courtyard. The youth danced to drumbeats and welcomed us to Ilocos.

Second Hand Smoke

These may serve as decorative items or ashtrays. When used as the latter, smoke will come out of the mouths.

Smoking is dangerous to your health. Use these instead as decor, paperweight, etc.
