Photo journal of a short walk in Santa Fe,
No time to write this evening, but just a few images to capture the imagination.
Capture and create – two special events in June.
Monday, June 22, 9 am - 4:30 pm I'm going to take you on a the bus ride of your life, grab your camera and see the world through my eyes and then I will share my 'Capture and Create' ideas. How do you make a quilt from the images.Experience a scenic bus tour unlike any other with Pam Holland, visiting off-the-map sites and capturing the simple beauty the area offers. Enjoy the splendor of area backroads as you experience an Amish schoolhouse, shop house, hand-painted barn quilts, and so much more.
Walk with me and see what I see. A photo journal of the beauty of Guatemala.
This is a photo journal of some of the images I took in the past few days.
Observations and Exercises.
The Lady is called Catherine, she worked for two months and made this embroidery from 4 panels woven on the backstop loom. I visited the family and bought her delightful piece. Thats the beginning of the story, part of the tory behind the quilt. The end will be when I finish and share the quilt.
Textiles and travel stories. Antigua Guatemala.
Jim West and I are doing a little research into Textile Tours for Textile Artists and both of us arrived in Antiqua yesterday. Jim had the trip from hell that sounded like a bad movie, mine began at 3.30 am and I arrived at 10.00 pm. It was a really long day, and we didn't catch up until breakfast.
Capture the color.
3 weeks ago I came to Mexico to share my ideas and quilting techniques to both Artists and Quilters alike. I have a history in Mexico going back 8 years now. I'm very lucky to have made so many wonderful friends here. I love everything, the art, the people, the designs, the food and of course the color.
Clothing and Culture.
As you can see every woman wore a rebozo which is a long straight piece of cloth with looks like a cross between a scarf and a shawl. Like ponchos, huipils and sarapes they are classic Mexican garments made of straight, mostly uncut cloth, but rebozos have their own characteristics. It is classically a woman’s garment, traditionally hand woven, distinguished by complicated finger woven fringes called rapacejos.

My photos are an expression of what I saw as I walked for a few hours. I hope they give you a small glimpse of interesting things.
