Arriving in Guatemala and a walk through town:
Guatemalan fashion- the beauty of handwoven huipiles
Guatemala is well know for it's rich tradtions in ikat fabric
An ikat butterfly? only in Guatemala! Stepping lightly "collar de rena", a tropical vine which grows abundantly which means the queens collar Color Studies: To ground ourselves in place we are practicing observe the color around us. What colors are unique to this place? We create color palettes at Santa Clara convent, a 500 year ruin in the middle of Antigua, where you can see the layers of time. The colors of stone, tropical vegetation, sky all make unusual color combinations Its amazing how when you take a moment, how much you can observe.
