In the fall of 2008, Eva’s time in Panama was spent in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. While Bocas is delightfully lacking in infrastructure; crystal clear water, coral reefs, bright sunshine and the Guaymi Indians inspired her new line of creations, including an exciting line of children’s fauxs.

Thanks to the native boat captain Salsa, who went out of his way and opened his world, Eva was able to visit a Guaymi community where she was enthusiastically greeted by the village schoolchildren. Eva was mesmerized by their beautiful brilliant smiles and their desire to have their pictures taken. The children were fascinated by Eva’s blonde hair and European heritage and her ability to talk to them in Spanish. It was hard do to decide who was more intrigued by whom; Eva with the children, or they with her.

Eva was able to gain a firsthand perspective of the gentleness and beauty of the Guaymi, their art expressed through colorful and intricate beadwork, the spectacular vistas from their simple homes, and the energy expressed through their faces. Eva has once again transformed her impressions into an amazing collection of faux that truly does justice to this striking area and the beautiful people. From her visit, a line of children’s fauxs is available, capturing the innocence and beauty of the Guaymi.

Also, a heartfelt thanks to Marlena and Chango for their amazing hospitality during the stay at Eclypse de Mar.
