Some more from Italy

Posted by bayan

The view from our room in the farm where we were staying.
 
This view is of Osimo's Promenade; Lonely Planet could tell us nothing about this town and area, it is also rare to hear people speak English or any  other non Italian language over there.
On the last morning before we had to leave for Rome (where we took our flight back), we went to see the fields of Lorenzo and Katrina, the owners of an organic farm who hosted us at their home.
(in case you were wondering what the kids in the above photo are looking for) 


The morning before, we were busy with preparations to "Ogni Giorno Vale", in which we took part.
In this photo, Gal is the guy standing with the red shirt; I'm standing in the middle; Olympia, who is the woman behind this entire event, is standing on the right; and Gabriele, her husband, is bending down.


This is how my dolls participated in the event.  

 
My part was the workshop I had to conduct - even after one week of traveling through Italy I couldn't conduct the workshop in Italian by myself, so I demonstrated the work in English to a few local assistants.
This five-year-old boy was so serious…
Later on, Gaia and her sister had to finish the stitching for him. And now that I mentioned sweet Gaia (aka stormy???, who was also assisting me with the workshop), don't forget to check out her flickr. She makes awesome stuff with toys she renovates.
 
 
 
 
 



Eating our last lunch there on the balcony of a restaurant overlooking this view made our coming back home even more difficult. 

(Some of the event's photos are by Massimiliano Ballerini Thank you)

We are leaving for Italy tomorrow!!! The dolls, Gal, and me.
Everyone is a bit nervous as there are many preparations before our departure tomorrow afternoon.












There is a new bunch of dolls that is going to be joining us. Those are only a few, and the rest are yet to be sewn.
Next Sunday you can find all of us at the OGNI GIORNO VALE 2010.



















I will be back on Tuesday, August 10, and on Thursday, August 19, and Thursday, August 26, I will conduct another sock doll workshop at my new home. E-mail me for more details.


The last thing I would like to share with you today is my new website, Neta Dolls, which I have launched last week. I would be glad to receive your comments.
