Artisan - María Luisa Ruíz Ruíz
San Andres Larrainzar, Mexico
I live in a ranchería that is part of the municipality of San Andrés Larrainzar. Since we live in the countryside, there are few things to do for entertainment, so I became interested in backstrap loom weaving. I did this because, in the town, the people were interested in buying the pieces I made. That was the opportunity to have a little money to raise my daughter, but if I think about the work it takes for me to make them, honestly, it is very poorly paid.
