embroidery




Bought the Virgin of Guadalupe piece in Chiapas, southern Mexico,
(the vendor was selling those embroidery hoops, & made this while
he waited) & the larger piece in Guatemala. The crafts in both
countries are spectacularly colourful & varied, cant find any sites
that show a good range, you'll just have to go there !



A few days ago I mentioned a sculptor/artist friend
in Mexico who designs wonderful buildings of all kinds.
Isn't this small chapel just perfect? They sent me this photo
last year. The residences also have a wonderfully organic form,
with such sympathetic proportions & materials.
Write a comment if you want more details.
