Michoacan embroidery

The first table at the Maestros del Arte fair in Ajijic where I knew I would have to come back was that of the Bordados Santa Cruz, from the state of Michoacan, near Lake Patzcuaro. Their whimsical designs captivated me. So eventually I came back and after mulling over a variety of delightful items, I bought a tshirt.

But what a tshirt! Here are some close-ups from the embroidery on it, representing village life:





And here is the whole design:




I think I'll go back to that booth next year. The price of this tshirt was 200 pesos, just over $18.00 US.
