The ABCs of Ernestos: part C

Okay, so I am cheating a little bit on my Ernesto series. Ernesto’s last name is Orellana Castro, and people go by their first last name, not their second... but since one of his last names started with C, I figured it counted!

Ernesto OC hadn’t really stuck out in my mind since I have yet to meet him; he wasn’t there the day we had arranged to visit his workshop. But luckily there was someone there to open the door and give us the OK to take pictures, and there was enough background info already at Manos Amigas that I could make several edits to create a story. After Sam had placed photos and captions in Ernesto’s story, I was taken with all of the warm colors and different types of beauty found in his workshop. I decided to share them with you too!

Ernesto has many, many molds for the countless figures he has created over the years.

This little boy has his own version of Simon's excavator to keep him entertained while he is in the workshop.
