| Spinning is a laborious process, she is using a jicara gord ,to assit in the spinning process , these gords are used as cups and in so many other ways. They also showed me the complete costume, in the collection I only have the blouse but was very happy to identify it at last. For a collector this is one of the best things that can happen, get first hand verification. The rebosos were raw silk died and woven on a back strap loom. On the far right is a close up of the blouse in the collection. In the category "ya just don't know" I drove right by this village at least three times and during my inquires no one told me about the silk weaving. |
