We are so happy to finally launch our brown and cream diamond table runners. When we learned to weave originally it was on a two-pedal foot loom. After we were weaving well on that loom, we wanted to try something more difficult. So, a master weaver came and showed us how to work with four pedals. That was a lot more difficult, and we had some painful experiences weaving entire bolts of fabric without noticing we had missed some threads in the warp, or had mixed up the order of the pedals. We had especially painful experiences with our brown and cream diamond fabric. But now, we are proud to say, we have mastered the diamond weave using the four pedals. With the collaboration of our sewing team and all the embroiderers, we proudly present our table runners and placemats (that match our emerald green diamond pattern) in brown and cream.
We have embroidered the same motifs you can find on our emerald green diamond runners, placemats, and napkins. We have embroidered "b'e" on the table runners and placemats, which stands for path, or our destiny. Destiny is an important Maya value, we think each human is born with special gifts and a plan how to use those gifts. If we don't find and follow our destiny, we will be unhappy and even ill.
We have embroidered "n'oj" on the napkins, which stands for wisdom. We believe wisdom comes with experience and reflection, especially in our spiritual ceremonies which are centered on our relationship with the universe and nature.
