Walking by Faith

Walking by faith can be quite difficult.

Although it's hard to imagine what life without faith must be like, life is still hard when one does have faith.

It's rewarding, though. 

Of all the wonderful non-material gifts my parents gave to me, the gift of faith is the most treasured.

How about you?

Do you feel that it's hard to walk by faith?

"Twoolies" Are Colorful, One-of-a-Kind Wool Animal Figures

"Twoolies" are some of the brightest, most colorful and happiest woolen animal figures you will ever hope to see.

They are for sale in specialty shops all over the USA.

You can check out where to find them on their website here.

I spotted the "Twoolies" shown in this post  in a gift shop that was part of a Mayan exhibition at the Denver, Colorado, Museum of Nature and Science.

Really, they were among the most unique and zany pieces of art I've ever had the opportunity to see.

They are all handmade by Mayan artisans in the highlands of South Mexico.

While they were all adorable, the zebras were among my faves.

Sindy Posso, an architect, is listed as one of the people involved in their production.

The Toztzil artisans who fashion the colorful animals are an ethnic subgroup of the Maya.

While I loved the Twoolies, which are true pieces of art, their cost was way out of my price range.

I sure loved looking at them and photographing them, though!
