Dears readers

Today I want to talk about “Tapestry”.  It does not know the exact date of the start of the tapestry but it is said to come the different countries for example, Egypt in 5000 BC, China in 2698 AC and in South America the date it doesn’t know.

This millenary technique exists since the human needs to cover. Since then natives people to use this technique not only for dress also to cover their homes.  The woman’s wove for their families and she teaches his daughter, she must help to weave all day, while his mother ends home works. The techniques are taught by the mother and are inherited by generations. 

In our country the inheritance come from the Mapuche tapestry.  This native people teach us their world view in his weaves, we can see it in blanket and in the same clothes.

In Chile we can find Pre-Columbian textiles in museums at the capital. I invited you to learn!!!


Kinds regards,
Tania.
