Evalia
and her family make most of Terra Experience's San Antonio Aguas
Caliente Doll Huipiles. On the
left is a picture of Evalia showing her weaving on a
back-strap loom in 1999. The weaving of San Antonio Aguas Calientes is
very fine and takes a great deal of skill and time. The huipil
that Evalia is wearing on the right probably took 2 to 3 months for
her to weave. The first doll huipil Evalia wove probably took
a week or two to make. Now over the years, we have figured out
how to design them so they take less time, but they still take
several days to weave.
In 2011 (picture on the top right), both Evalia and I
have a bit more gray hair and she has many more grandchildren. Evalia and Cenia, her youngest daughter, wove the beautiful brocaded
doll huipiles that I am selling this year. Celia now has two
children. Evalia's husband occasionally helps sew the sides of the doll hupiles
together. Cenia wants me to develop a "collectors line" so she
can weave fancy flowers on the doll huipiles - let me know if you
are interested (they would be expensive). Evalia also makes
beautiful hand-woven tapestries with Quetzals that Terra Experience
also sells.
The same
sewing machine is used to make some of the doll huipiles that are
pieced and sewn from recycled adult huipiles. These outfits
take less time to make, and so are less expensive.
