- Summary
- Over 80 accurate drawings of New Mexican colonial embroidery, Hispanic weaving designs, and plans for two looms, a spinning wheel, a warp roller, and a wool winder. Formulas for vegetable dyes are also included. the renderings were made by Carmen Espinosa, Nellie Dunton, Gisella Lacher, and others during the 1930s from authentic pieces of Spanish colonial embroidery and blankets in museums, private collections, and still in use in homes. The drawings have been retraced from the mimeographed Trade and Industrial Bulletins distributed to vocational schools in northern New Mexico by the State Department of Vocational Education as "representative examples" for students. Likewise, today's weavers, embroiderers, collectors, scholars, and anyone who has had the opportunity to buy or view such pieces will appreciate these detailed, authentic drawings of New Mexican textiles -- Back cover.
