Textiles

Spools of Mayan textiles. Lady the Tramp and I were in a debate as to if this fabric was hand made or machine processed. After finding this shop, I think we found the answer. Yes, even in the hinterlands of Guatemala, the machine replaces the hand. It is just interesting to me that these machine manufactured textiles are sold to foreigners for hand made prices.
