Inside the Mexican home of Billie and Ricardo Andrade was where our Tuesday beading session took place. Billie and Ricardo own the business called Olas Vallarta offering surf tours and lessons in the bay area and beyond.
From the moment we arrived we were greeted by colorful arrays of artistic creations from the door front to every corner of Billie and Ricardo's casa.
The walls were splattered with hand painted art work from ceiling to floor.
The floors were adorned with "rugs" made with picturesque tiles.
Some walls had the theme of Christianity which is so prevalent here.
The Virgin of Guadalupe who is being celebrated from December 1 - 12 here in old town Puerto Vallarta is seen in many homes and businesses.
About 8 of us sat in several tables outside in the court yard right next to this beautiful display.
Billie is showing us just one of her many artistic pieces.
We all went home with a match box decorated by Billie using the Mexican Bingo theme.
Mexican Bingo Cards look like this:
Here's a mirror Billie made using bottle caps and the Mexican bingo theme.
Linda decided to make this frame using the Mexican Bingo theme instead of beading today.
Jean does tedious beautiful weaving with small seed beads and finished her bracelet.
Sue wore her recently finished red and black woven necklace which is made of hundreds of tiny little seed beads - ELEGANT!!
Tis the season for a little ho ho, so some made little Santa earrings from a pattern that Anne discovered.
Truly it's exhilarating to surround ourselves with each others creative passions as we dive into our zone of adult play time!
