Carpets of sawdust

[URIBARRI-MAYOR]

As I know how much you like the photos in the forum and I also love tp see its gardens, its flowers some of which I do not know, the birds that do not live in my country etc, and while returning star lover, I would like to show some customs Spanish where art is amazing and also is ephemeral art because it hardly lasts a day. Most of these celebrations are related to religion, but usually all the people participate. Today I want to show some of the carpets of sawdust "serrin" dyed from the village "Elche de la Sierra" in the province of Albacete. The day of Corpus Christi is celebrated and the neighbors begin at 4 or 5 in the morningt so that in the morning it is all over, then people visit it and in the afternoon the religious procession is celebrated and those carpets disappear trodden by people and only the memori and the photos remain. Some other villages make carpets of flowers and I will show them too. Hope you likedescarga.jpg1561016574_222390_1561016669_noticia_normal.jpgAlfombras-serrin-2017-album-56-.jpgAlfombras-serrin-2017-album-37-.jpg

At my husbands office, they had a small version of this done in dyed rice. It was only 4x4, but I'm sure it took hours to accomplish!

They really are cool.

Wow. This is amazing, strikingly beautiful. I wouldn't want to be the first person to walk on it, or even walk on it. All that work and gone in a day. This makes me want to visit even more. Keep sharing. Thanks

Oh my goodness, the amount of planning and work going into these beautiful floral carpets. I would love to know how long they took to create. Thank you for sharing your pictures. It is sad that people walk all over them and they are destroyed. The colors are probably more amazing in person.
