Several years ago I had the amazing opportunity to live in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. I lived with and worked for a women named Candis Krummel. Candis started an organization called Cojolya to help the Tzutujil women and preserve Mayan weaving. It was with the Cojolya organization that I first learned to weave on a backstrap loom. I fell in love with textiles all over again and I fell in love with the Guatemalan people. I feel a strong connection with this cause and I encourage you to check out their web-site and support them however you can.
P.S. The "Basket Weave Bag" is a bag that I designed while I was an intern with Cojolya.

Fashion Stoll pictures

I know Fashion Stroll was a month ago, but I forgot to post these photos of the other outfits I made. They are all constructed with "Yellow Bird" fabrics. All of the accessories are made by Lisa DeFrance and Sonja Blackam of "Shift." They are amazing designers and they were so much fun to collaborate with.
