The Red Dzao tribeswoman at work. This picture shows just how effective her makeshift spectacle strap is.

You have such moving framings due to the way you look at people and come close - it touches me a lot... A beautiful portrait, indeed.

the courtly lady again. i don't know, but she seems to mean something to me ... the fine gesture with her stitching hand perfectly fits to her gracious face and figure. i swear she was used to be a queen in a former life.

@trilliana: haa...perhaps she really was? we'd never know. :) but what I do know is that she doesn't have the fortunes of a queen in this life. these ladies lead very simple lives. :)

This picture I love more, her work is important to her, I would love to
see a color sample of her work.

@Phil David Alexander Morris: Thanks Phil. Unfortunately I do not have any photos of her completed work. What you see her doing here is very early into the start of her work. :)

What an interesting angle.
Her work is emphasized by the size of her hand
and then you are drawn up the image into the intensity of the task at hand.
Love the ingenuity of the glasses.
