"Embroidered designs of birds in geometric patterns that represent the nature of Guatemala and its traditional clothing."

This work of art was designed and hand-stitched by Felix Felisa Velásco Castro de Gutiérrez, member of the Totonicapán embroidery group. The rich mix of blues, purples and greens are beautiful on the indigo blue cloth. The ikat patterned border frames up the embroidery beautifully. This table runner also makes a beautiful wall hanging or can be use at the foot of the bed.

Felix Felisa Velasco Castro de Gutiérrez

Her favorite aspect of being an artist at Multicolores is sketching her designs. She enjoys the moment when her creations are already on the fabric, and she delights in the process of selecting and combining colors before beginning with the embroidery.

She draws inspiration from landscapes, traditional costumes, traditions, Guatemalan culture, nature, as well as the art and customs of each community.

Felisa feels proud now that her work has improved, and she enjoys when others admire what she does and value it because it’s made with a lot of effort.

“Multicolores is a great support for women. I feel that the name represents the colors of Guatemala; it’s an opportunity to learn new things. It’s an association that helps recycle and is conscious of environmental matters.”
