my first ever viewing of colored brooms... we still use these old straw brooms, but they are natural colors and probably not hand made like these...

I would want to buy one of his brooms. Craftsmen like this are getting hard to find.

I love his colorful brooms. I bought a handmade broom a while ago and it is still the best broom I have ever used.

Never ever seen colored brooms. Makes one want to broom around or get on it and fly around in space on Halloween.
