TEXTILE INSIGHT PT 2: THE BROCADE WEAVE OF ZINACANTÁN & THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAGDALENA DRESS.
"...I was tempted by their cross-stitch embroidery, but it was simply too time-consuming and expensive to start the project with. I was also tempted by the 'deshilado' technique (see pictures below). But it was their brocade technique that really got me excited, layered and slick patterns in raised textures over stripes- vibrant colours and what was most surprising was the clean finish!"
