Weaving by backstrap loom, in Western Belize





** belts and guitar straps with name on them
** Weaving shawls.

** key rings and trouser belts for the fastidious
** Men´s hand woven belts. See the fabulous parrot, on the table mat, at the end there. That was a gift to me.

All works are done by Mrs. Silvia Auxillou of Hillview, Santa Elena Town, in Western Belize. Most of her works have been ordered by custom order and sold to the customer. These are indigenous Indian patterns of the Americas.

It's so lovely to see the patterns and the tutorials on my blog being put to such nice use! I didn't know I had followers in Belize!
