Thank you for sharing the embroideries from Oaxaca, they are gorgeous. <BR/>The chain stitch, since you say is on a more recent garment, may be done by machine. I have a jacket, bought from JCPenney, but made in India, with the same type of chain stitch embroidery, and I have seen it also on outfits from Africa. I haven't seen them though with the same solor sense, these are beautiful! <BR/>Did you find out the name of the embroidery? I know there is a "huipul" that comes from Central America, I was wondering if this was the same.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651495016849228263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-9546197968609519632009-01-20T18:22:00.000-08:002009-01-20T18:22:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing the delicious photos.
