Costumes And Embroidery for MarketFriday

It's Friday again, which means #MarketFriday for some of us, hosted by my dear friend Denise, @dswigle.

No ceramics or sculptures today, just folk costumes and embroidery.

Let's start with these belts. Both are handmade, the one on the left is embroidered, the other on the right is also embroidered but with very small beads. Unfortunately I only have the price tag of the one on the left, which costs 250 lei, which is roughly $60. The other should cost more because it's way more difficult to make a belt like that with those small beads, not to mention the beads cost a lot as well.

These colorful belts are part of the Romanian folk costumes.

Two folk costumes for kids. These costumes are used at school events mostly.

An icon or a religious scene,that at first I thought it's cross stitch but it's made of beads, which is amazing.

More folk costumes and some bags.

Two vendors dressed in folk costumes and some beautiful belts. These vendors are regulars, I've seen them many times, they are always dressed like this.

This woman is making a bead jewelry, most likely a necklace or something similar. You can see some on the table in front of her. This type of jewelry is accessory to the folk costumes and it's very difficult to make them, since these beads are very small. You need a special needle, that id very flexible but you can brake it in a second. Needs practice to get used to it.

Two neighbors having a chat, the woman is doing crochet while talking to the man :) It's funny, but they were not posing for the camera, this is what they were doing.

Have a look at the man's shoes. These are traditional shoes called "opinci" in Romanian, opanak in English. They are made or leather.

Bags with floral embroidery for women, very colorful I'd say.

More handmade jewelry made of beads, dolls dressed in bead decorated costumes and heats decorated with real peacock feathers.
