Magic Carpets

I am currently in Boston taking care of the chores of autumn like cleaning the gutters and raking leaves.  Luckily, Newton has a great community composting program and those 30 bags by the curb will disappear mañana and be beautiful compost in a few months.  So that's what I've been doing for the last few days.  Finally, I can look at shots from Muertos and these brought back some nice memories.  Just a few of the rugs and carpets that were a part of the week. 
First, this large (9x6 ft) beauty by Roman Guitierrez Ruiz from Teotitlan del Valle that is hanging in an exhibition in the city at the gallery at San Pedro y San Pablo.

Or this gorgeous and delicate sand painting from inside the church in Teotitlan del Valle.

Finally, three more rugs that somehow ended up back in my house... gotta support our local artists and good friends;-)  This beauty from Sergio Ruiz.  That's his mother Emilia (the video star) and his niece, Beatriz, one of my all-time favorite kids... along with her two brothers.

 And these two from good buddy, Antonio Ruiz and his daughter, Beatriz.

 My entire house is filled with red rugs from Antonio.  I love them... and the rugs, too.
