There is this community of "Lambadi's" near where I live. They have essentially squatted on land that has now become a large slum/shanty town. They are different from the locals with their own language and customs. Some say they are the original gypsies ( Romany) who migrated to Europe.
They work as day labor. The women wear colorful dresses decorated with mirrors.
I have been busy and lazy, alternately, and my blog did not get updated. Haven't been watching the London Olympics at all.( Almost).
This was a poor digitization effort. It is pencil and watercolor. And not so garish. The real life colors they wear are quite bright. This green in her blouse was almost fluorescent.
