From My Family to Yours: A Zapotec Indian's Handiwork of the Heart
From generation to generation!! This is my grandmother (mi abuelita) hand carving and spinning the wool. |
Sold: we can make to order. Eye of God in the center. |
We make large sizes like 6'x10' or larger! |
Some people like the rugs as wall hangings. |
Brighten up an elegant space. |
We can make a different kind of design! |
Grana cochinea is the color burgundy / red ... it's the color we can have! It depends how much lemon juice we use in our dye you can also have orange and other colors!!! :) |
If people want to order this, just email Gregorio at oaxacarugs at gmail dot com. |
A 'runner' can be for a table, a hallway or the wall decoration. |
