Fine Shipibo Embroidered Art. Fabric Textiles



		Fine Shipibo Embroidered Art.		The allure of traditional shipibo clothing is undeniable. Bright patterns and vivid rainforest colors demonstrate these peoples connection to the Creative. It has been said that "the patterns are obtained in an ayahuasca vision" and quickly recorded onto fabric. The patterns represent the mythology of the Shipibo, their natural and spiritual world, and the spirits that live there. Some patterns represent animals, plants, or geological memories. Some say they are recordings of constalations. I myself believe that they are visual patterns that accompany the songs they sing in their ceremonies.
