Meet The Artisan
"My name is Rodrigo Leonel Villanueva Cuevas I was born and raised in San Sebastián Tutla, Oaxaca. I attended to the Escuela Nacional de Artesanias in CDMX where I learned the elaboration of Stained Glass, I had being in different courses, of painting and other arts and I have also tried to train myself in different techniques.
"What interested me and inspired me to do what I do is, I have been grown up in an artisan environment. My grandparents were shawl artisans and my mother designed clothes. With me, we are the fourth generation and we have dedicate ourselves to this, my wife who also dedicates herself to the elaboration of new designs and my children now the next generation of artisans and it is nice to see how they are getting involved so that the craft does not disappear.
"I work with different materials, mainly with threads, cotton thread, I like to work more with the natural because they are processes and techniques of elaboration of many years ago and it is how to keep the crafts. Although I am dedicated to this, I believe that there is always something new and challenging, for example in creating new designs, something innovative, that pleases."

My blanket is perfect! Wish the more expensive hammock was worth the price.
C
I really do love this blanket but I wish the tassels were more like the ones shown in the photos. As you can see, the tassels on what I received are further spaced and much larger. Aesthetically, I don’t mind. They are, however, uncomfortable if you end up sitting against or on top of one.
