A long term project I've been working on. Play a Game

"Over the years i have been going to India in search of artists and craftpeople."
Loads of projects became dead ends, however some projects became very fruitfull and are still ongoing. Sourcing materials could involve several days of busses,trains,jeeps,rickshaws or just plain walking.
It also involved dealing with a total new set of rules regarding how things are done,
(practical matters, business, there's a festival a day in India, marriages, etc...)(Thanks Mr Real Mackay)
Unexpected situations are very common if not the thumb of rule, which.. of course... makes everything that little bit more exciting
To be short, i fell in love with the place and the people.
At present i am in the process of making similar chessgames with different materials and applications .
