The artesian market in San
Miguel is one of my favourite places. It sparkles with hundreds of kiosks that feature
the unique craftsmanship of the artists selling their wares.
I wandered into a small kiosk that nears the
exit or entrance at Relox Street. Here I met the quiet-spoken jeweler Susana
Reyes del Campillo who makes earrings, necklaces and more that come from trees
and other earth-grown materials. She also decorates frames and basically adds
such zany twists to the ordinary. I bought her leaf shape earrings that I
believe are from the jicama tree. She adds textural excitement by adorning the
plain with a bead or paint.
Susanna also sings in Pro
Musica’s opera performance held as part of the classical music concerts this
musical organization brings to the town. (I actually wrote all Pro Musica’s
program notes for their 2013/14 season).
No doubt about it, Susana
is marvelously talented; I love her highly original adornments. You can find
her at this address: #6 Anador Lucas Balderas between Relox and Hidalgo Streets
between which runs the remarkable number of kiosks. Email her at
susan.rcampillo@gmail.com
