Textile Traditions of Mesoamerica and the Andes: An Anthology

I hace been using this as a reference book. Oyr knitting group was incited to "yarnbomb" the San Diego Museum of Man for an "Art Crawl" event. We chose several Mayan influences to create colorful creations to cover bannisters, columns, and walls. This book gave some inspiration and added insights. Excellent! Every year today, huipils are still being created by indigenous women and the best are saved for themselves. They have parades and contests and a dance for the group. So, these art forms are being continued.

Super fast delivery- this book is well researched and a great addition to my textiles and needlework library!

More a design book than a text book. Good for someone interested in desing of Mexico

I have had an interest in the culture of Mesoamerica and the clothing they wear. I am also interested in the designs on their clothing and what it represents. This book furthered my knowledge plus was interesting to read.

I made mistake ordering the book because of a planned trip to Ecuador. Forgetting Ecuador was the land of the Incas and Central America the land of the Mayans. The book is magnificent in showing the traditional Mayan weaving skills and methods used within this geographic area.

excellent
