Inspiring Savannah

On Saturday we returned from a brief visit  to Savannah to visit my husband’s brother. We had never been there before. It is absolutely beautiful and so different from St. Paul. I was most impressed with the live oak trees draped with Spanish Moss, the lush vegetation, historic architecture, and of course the Atlantic as seen from Tybee Island.

One of our walks brought us to a fair-trade gallery called Folklorico (no website). Upon entering I was impressed by the display of Haitian metalwork, which I could identify at a glance because of the recent article in HandEye magazine. We bought a lovely small sun. The works are made from recycled oil barrels and carved with a hammer, chisel and wire brush.
