These are some of the lovely ladies that make our ever-so-popular mosaic bracelet in Guatemala. They are working on new color combinations for spring!
We thought this was super cute! Found it on Pinterest…of course. Seems like the easiest way would be to sketch a pattern first and then try to mimic it as you bead. Neutrals with a pop of a bold/vibrant color is the trend right now for spring/summer. If you attempt this let us know how it turns out!
This Sunday, many of you may find yourselves settling onto your couch around 8pm to watch the Grammy Awards. With this in mind, we thought it might be interesting to share a Guatemalan Grammy award winner. Ricardo Arjona, a Guatemalan artist, has won two Grammy Awards from three nominations: the 2007 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album and the 2006 Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Album. We hope you enjoy his music video! It gives you an idea of just how beautiful Antigua, Guatemala is and a little piece of the culture where our products are made.
We now sell laptop sleeves and laptop cases (we are calling the one with the pocket a “case”). They come in all different colors and patterns, but all are made from recycled handwoven fabric from Guatemala. Both styles measure 9.5″ x 12.5″ and zip close at the top. All have a surprise pop of colorful lining inside! www.uniquebatik.us
