Handwoven Rayon Scarf in Lapis and Snow White from Guatemala, "Jacaranda Flower"

Evoking the beauty of the jacaranda flower, this wrap scarf combines colors of lapis and snow white for an elegant, heathered effect. Working on the traditional telar de cintura, or backstrap loom, Guatemalan artisan Micaela Ujpan hand-weaves this rayon scarf to feature subtle striped patterns along its length. Fringes complete the scarf at each end. Says the artisan, "I am inspired by nature, in every part of this marvel that God gifts us every day."
