The Artisan's Story

1999

Martina and Catarina were two of the first weavers who I worked with to make traditional Mayan doll clothes. We worked together to figure out the size, and they came through with beautiful small huipils for 18" dolls.

The first delivery arrived in the traditional tzute or carrying cloth of Santa Catarina Palopo

2003

Making the doll huipils takes many steps. First the weaver prepares the warp for weaving and then weave the huipils. Here Martina and Caterina carefully finish the neckhole and sew up the seams

By 2003 my doll Vanessa had made many friends and Caterina's daughter, Conception (below) had grown quite a bit from the first time I met her.
