I learned, 38 years after his passing, that my father was not only a weaver in his youth in Oaxaca but a maestro teaching the art.
Unbelievable the detail in a weaving like that! Amazing and just beautiful- what an artist!
Just wonderful! Artisans of Mexico don't get enough credit, thank you for sharing this.

The spirit of the beautiful people of Mexico really comes through with this post. The kindness, intelligence, skill, and happiness of these incredibly family oriented people is something we, as Norte Americano's, need to cultivate more in our own personal lives….ps. your lip looks gorgeous!
Thanks Jeffrey. It's been so lovely being here and seeing a different way to live.
Thank you Corrin for that glimpse into the life of a weaver. When we buy or are gifted with this kind of work we now know the work that goes into this kind of art. You help us appreciate other cultures.
Louise phillips Thanks Louise. I could have settled right into one of those families and started learning.
Beautiful weaving! I loved listening to Benito and watching Jose work. Thank you for taking your time in Mexico to seek out people's stories. It is especially interesting that it is often the men in these villages who are the crafters and artist, and that they pass it down through the generations.
The Experiment The woman are rearing littles, growing food and feeding everyone.
FRESH PRINCESS I just watched the end. Wow, the colorful weaving is incredible! I didn't catch the name of the artist, but he is doing an amazing job. Whoever ends up with it will be truly blessed. Also, was that a funeral precession at the end? Or perhaps the start of a holiday?
The weavers names are under the video. It was a funeral procession.
Necessity is the mother of invention… Absolutely marvelous!
Incredible artisans with beautiful work and huge smiles.
Aren't they lovely!
I have never seen this side of Ole Mexico, it is beautiful, and friendly. Maybe sometime before the end of my life I will get to go and see for myself. Your videos almost let me smell the heat and dust, the lovely smell of Mexican food. I wait to see John Wayne, come around the corner, rolling a smoke and say" Well pilgrim, time we catch a pony and high-tail it back to Texas." Thank you for the videos.
Brian Snyder Never forget that Western movies (even if they're classical movies ) were made to vilified ethnic Mexicans & Natives , like today , "Hollywood " is vilifying Muslims & Arabs
The villain could be anybody, I was in it for the scenery.
It's how we , all , should travel the World . Agree , the last one is an amazing painting like
I love your travel vlogs! They are so personal with so much heart. Thank you for sharing such interesting people - what they do and how they live their lives.
Sher Thom You're welcome.
Thanks for such an interesting and beautiful video. You are very talented in bringing such interest to TH-cam.
Those brick masonry balconies at the beginning are really something to see.
Of course ALL masonry is hand-crafted, but I love seeing the really labor intensive stuff that the regional masons create.
my mind is blown! The last gentlemen's piece reminded me of the renaissance.. the time and detailed work is so amazing! So much creativity and love flowing into that carpet! makes me wanna sew something! :)
Amanda Hawkins They totally inspired me too.
While I was visiting Chimayo NM the wife & I got to see some of this wonderful artisans weaving.
What a beautiful art form.
1timby Isn't it!? Seeing weavers always makes me want to weave.
I just love Jose's dog Bobby... One of the cutest dogs in the village
To say that I am amazed by their work is a bit of an understatement. Wow, I've never seen how it's done and I am in awe. Was the band playing at the end for a funeral procession?
Flannel Acres It was incredible. It was a funeral.
Very cool vid! I would love to own a >REAL< serape, meaning a hand woven one with the weave so tight that it is almost water proof. They seem to be hard to come by as many low quality machine made ones are advertised as handmade.
P, this is really incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness. That is incredible!! Thanks for sharing.
38kimpossible It was incredible. I'm so enamored with these weavers.
The first guy .. What an interesting man ... love the rugs
Jose is cute lol ...
That last guy's work .. WOW .. If I tried that I would have one hell of a tangled mess lol
My hat of to you guy's ..If I ever hear anyone winging about the price of hand made rugs from Mexico I will refer this video to them :) ...
Thanks for sharing
Blessed Be
mysticangells Aren't they lovely!?! Jose is a Doll. His presence is so beautiful. The next time I need a carpet, I'm going to shoot him an email.
How lovely and amazing!
Saludos amigas, amigos
Really amazing. Im guessing you bought a rug or two
I just love this kind of real craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing this.
Wasn't too impressed with the weaving of wires on that electric meter behind you though :P
Yes artist don’t get enough credit!
Wow. I'm intrigued. How interesting!!
This was amazing. Its so nice to see folks that still use their hands to make thing to last generation's instead of throwaway plastic junk. I'm glad you asked about pulling the yarn up because I was wondering too. Is that wool, not sure if you mentioned the material.
It is wool. Beautiful eh?!
all I can say is wow
Impressive.
this is so cool excellent folks excellent talent!
Interesting how native weaving is almost identical no matter where you go in the americas, and another interesting thing is that the men weave in this area, some other areas the women weave like the navajo, I would love to spend the day learning the process
Loved the weaving! Was that a Palm Sunday celebration at the end?
dsmoov2 It was a funeral. But it was so lovely to see the towns people all participate.
Said it before P, love your life! Thanks for sharing. Oh well, off to work in the dungeon to make medicine. Ug
beautiful work. did you spoil yourself and get a rug Fresh P.
Peace.
Peacen Love You know I did.
:)
fancy!
you probably show us the beautiful only; but as beautiful as Mexido is whey would people want to leave?
Tracy Bruring I show you what I see. They leave because in many small towns there is no industry and no way to make money. The ones that leave go to work int eh US and send nearly all of their earnings back to their families in Mexico. The world is big and interesting if you get out in it.
I am glad you can and show it to us
FRESH PRINCESS The same thing is happening all over the United States in small towns. Where I use to live it once was a thriving community and there were little reason to leave and go somewhere else and now it's all but dried up and younger people must leave in order to make a living for their families.
Wow ......just wow. Life an death ........
Stay Safe !!!
