Cecilia Bautista Caballero was an accomplished weaver at 10 years old. She is the first Purépecha weaver to include real feathers on her hand-fringed rebozos, a technique she has revived from pre-Hispanic Purépecha rebozo art. The over-sized body of her rebozos are hand-loomed on a backstrap loom combining cotton with rayon-silk stripes, another distinguishing characteristic of her unique rebozo art form. The end result is a wearable art rebozo, or shawl, like no other that adds a tres elegante fashion statement to even the most basic costuming. Nationally recognized, she has won numerous concurso awards at the state and national level for her elegant, innovative rebozo art form and is a distinguished “Great Master (mistress) of Mexican Folk Art” (page 415) ... If you prefer different colors or color combinations, Cecilia can custom make to your specifications.
