| Azucena is a work in progress. Since 2002 we have presented this story in an e-mail scene-a-day format http://www.artcamp.com.mx/EZINES/07AzucenaNovela/letter/
Now we want to produce the literary version. This is all part of the promotional strategy of a group of rural craftswomen in Mexico. The literary and other media products are adjuncts to the cottage industry of fashion jewelry-making Our parents were the creators of the abalone jewelry that was so popular world-wide in the 1980′s. (Conditions have changed adversly for the mexican artisan, today 25% of the population of the State of Guerrero is in the United States, and the mexican producer has chinese products in the markets) here is the new take on this – after decades of preparation, really it has been centuries in the making:http://www.artcamp.com.mx/nww/ New World Women
