Mario Chávez preserves traditional Zapotec weaving traditions by designing cushion covers that would make his ancestors proud. He prepares the beige dye by mixing pomegranate and liana until it acquires a dark hue, then adds walnut. For green, he uses indigo and yellow from the pomegranate. Chavez weaves the covers on a traditional loom. The covers close with a zipper. The use of natural dyes may cause slight variations in hue. This hand crafted item may vary slightly in size.
