Description
Inspiration for these folk art animals comes from embroideries made by the Otomà women of San Pablito, Mexico. Most Otomà women still wear their traditional clothing which ensures that important weaving and embroidery techniques are maintained. These same skills are used to create embroideries which are sold to generate income for their community. Using cotton fabric of various sizes, the women of San Pablito embroider scenes of everyday life. The scenes are outlined on cloth and using colored cotton thread, the images are filled in with long satin stitches. Enormous skill is involved in positioning the random figures and creating balance and harmony. Kit is made of plywood and is unpainted. Decorate with acrylic paint and markers. Approximate dimensions of largest animal 4 3/4 " tall. Embroidered cloth. Cotton. 1960s. Otomà people, San Pablito, Puebla or Tenango de Doria, Hidalgo, Mexico. International Folk Art Foundation Collection, Museum of International Folk Art.
