Artecomasagua - Making Flowered Gift Cards
The women of Artecomasagua collect leaves, flowers, and plants from the countryside around the village that are given to them by nature.
The collected flower petals and leaves are dried between the pages of old books. When ready, only a little bit of wood glue does the magic of adhering them to cards. Each work of art is unique and reflects the creativity of the artist. For that reason, Artecomasagua puts extra effort into creating a working atmosphere that is peaceful, joyful, and happy for all women.

For others like Ana Cecilia, Arte Comasagua is a source of pride and self-esteem. "Work makes me feel important as a person. I dream of flowers and create with my imagination."
Women in Arte Comasagua represent a responsible company, under a concept of fair trade, working in safe and healthy conditions.
