The process of developing unique designs for fashionistas
Rosa has been a friend for over 12 years. She also provides weaving workshops for travelers to Guatemala.
The traditional dyeing techniques of the Lema Weaving Association in San Juan La Laguna use dyes or colorants derived from locally found plants, trees, and insects in the Lake Atitlan area.
The roots, bark, leaves, berries, wood, and insects each produce a different color and hue. A few of the plants that are used are coconut shells, pericón, pepper, purple basil, hibiscus flowers, and achiote, among many others.
Using the backloom method of weaving, the Lema Weaving Association in San Juan La Laguna produces purses, bags, shawls, scarves, huipiles, serapes, tablecloths, placemats, napkins, cushions, bedspreads, hammocks, and many more items.
Rosa is one of many female artisans that Ethical Fashion supports and who participates in creating one-of-a-kind custom products for fashionistas seeking a unique one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
