Zapotec cotton bedspread, 'Oaxaca Fields' (king)
By Elizabeth
Gorgeous Green!
This beautiful bedspread graces my king bed in my condo in Costa Rica - it brings in the vibrant spring green from the lush terrain outside my windows! The workmanship is truly excellent. The ivory stripes part of the spread are a complex woven column design in warm ivory and soft grey with ivory cross-stitch bands, and go beautifully with the soft gray of my walls. A very subtle green on green stripe is woven into the green field of the coverlet.The fringe is hand tied on both sides and the bottom edge of the cover. The weight of the fabric is quite substantial - it feels like a very heavy and textured linen weave and has an excellent hand for a coverlet, so it does lie smoothly on the bed. Simply lovely and a worthwhile investment! I added blue and green batik style cotton pillows, but I do wish there were shams to go with this! Beautiful work!!
Wool cushion cover, 'Starburst'
By Joanne
Absolutely beautiful!
The pattern is exquisite and the colors so deep and true. I feel as though we have museum-quality artwork in our home and I thank Sr. Chavez for sharing his talents.
Embroidered cotton cushion cover, 'Jungle Friends'
By EDGUBI
Nice colors, great stichwork, and a lot of character
I was somewhat on the fence about how cartoonish the birds looked in the picture, but I love birds and I love purple, so I figured it was worth getting. Up close, you can see just how detailed and perfect the stitchwork is. It also becomes clear that she is depicting these birds in naturalistic poses that I recognize from my own birds.Ms. Perez is clearly both a great seamstress and a great observer of nature, and she also has a good color sense. I also really like the composition on this piece.
