Artisan - María Luisa Ruíz Díaz
San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico
My municipality of origin is called Larrainzar, but I had to move to San Cristobal de Las Casas, and to support myself, I had to do what I already knew, which was backstrap loom weaving. I sell it in the streets and earn money to contribute to my home. Still, it is always tough to walk the streets for a long time to sell something, and if I find someone, they always want to bargain the price, and as I need the money, I end up selling it.
