Faustino Perez
of
Guadalupita, Mexico
made
zarapes
on hand looms; good
zarapes
took a month or more to make.
He said, "One must have a feeling for it in the hands,
in the heart. Come let me show you...". I believe,
en nuestra cultura Mexicana,
in our
Mexican
culture, a
zarape
is our coat of many colors - respectfully radiating the passion of warmth and brilliance.
I have a feeling for the stories that I write - with my hands, in my heart, and in my soul, -
con mis manos, en mi corazon, y en mi alma.
Thus, I share the performing art of storytelling.
It has been stated that a story is a gift,
un regalo. Cuentos,
or stories, are cultivated and woven with the many colors
of our world cultures and history. I bring you a
zarape de cuentos. Que viva la pasion de cuentos!
Sinceremente,
Consuelo Samarripa
