weavings

Weaving is a huge part of Bolivian artwork. Most of the weaving is done by women and they take a lot of pride in their weavings because it shows their people’s way of life through different colors and designs (DeborahGarnerCollection). The weaving is usually made in to mantles which are like large cloths that can be worn on the shoulders of women or for holding a baby or parcels (DeborahGarnerCollection). The wool used when making these beautiful weavings is usually llama, alpaca, and sheep’s wool (EveryCulture). The designs found in the weavings are of animals, home life symbols, and sometimes animals that live in the area (EveryCulture).
