Worry doll art
On our travels through Guatemala recently, we came across a great gallery in Antigua called Casa Des Artes. There were all sorts of interesting antiques and curios, but one slightly more modern piece caught our eye.
Originally designed as a glass tray, this lovely piece has 'quitapenas' or worry dolls trapped between two panes of glass. We really liked the idea of trapping your worries away and though it was a stylish modern twist on an old Guatemalan tradition. So we've put one up as a piece of art at home.
