pretty cross

Dark teal turns light turquoise in a fresh palette of colors orchestrated by Vinita for this wide shawl. She works with traditional dyeing techniques to create a shawl of bold elegance that is loomed of raw silk.

Working with hand carded and spun wool that has been tinted with natural dyes, Mario Chavez creates this pretty cushion cover. The handwoven cover features a subtle diamond patterned stripe of concrete grey against a body of sea green. One side is fringed to conceal a zipper for the easy insertion of a cushion.

With skills that have been handed down from generation to generation, artisans of the Zenu Community in Colombia craft this pretty cuff bracelet. Working on a plastic base, they cover the bracelet with handwoven caña flecha fiber in red, bright green and white and trim the ends with red fabric. Caña flecha is a neotropical grass native to Colombia and Mexico. The bold diamond patterns make the cuff a striking accessory to wear anytime.
