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.

Hand woven full size Zapotec Cotton Bedspread
This bedspread is beautifully made and is just what I was looking for. The size fits my bed perfectly and this shade of yellow goes with curtains woven on a back strap loom in Guatemala. I am so pleased with my purchase. Viva Mexico and the wonderful artists who create lovely things for us to enjoy. Gracias a la Sra. Ruiz.
