Made by an artisan group of weavers in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, this dark blue cushion cover is a high quality textile made with a foot loom. The artisans are very interested and passionate about the preservation of the use of the foot loom to make textiles; another goal of theirs is to educate more women in this art and process, as historically the foot loom has been used mostly by men. This dark blue cushion cover features the same design on the front as on the back: thin looped lines in different shades of blue and gray. The back of the cushion has slit in which to insert the cushion.

About his work, Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez says “As a child I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods.” He is proud to present his designs in this key rack, made from upcycled auto parts for a modern, industrial look. A stern owl stands guard over household keys in this rack, which pairs perfectly with any doorway.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
