Another very enjoyable installment. What is Calabash tree art and who is Rasmo?

Thanks for posting the great pictures.




Lol...THIS is Rasmo! (Mislabeled by the guy who posted).
Rasmo has a spiel, and "it's a Christmas decoration, it's a purse, it's a bird feeder, it's a lunch box, keeps your treasures" "hand painted by Rasmo".
Cool dude. I bought 3 of varying sizes, and suggested he get smaller ones in Christmassy colors this time of year! He'd really do well.
I like the island map or sailboats.
