"El Cielo" (el c-eh-lo) in Spanish means "the sky" or "the heavens." "Taller" (ta-yér) is Spanish for "workshop" or "craftsman's studio."
This weblog is about the maker's life. The teacher's path. The stitching and dyeing and printing of the craft of art cloth and art quilt. The stumbling around and the soaring, the way the words and the pictures come together. Poetry on the page and in the piecing of bright scraps together. The inner work and the outer journeys to and from. Practicalities and flights of fancy and fearful grandeur, trivial pursuits and tactile amusements. Expect new postings two or three times a week, unless you hear otherwise.

For many U.S. and Western Europe residents (as well as the popular media), Christmas means snow and snowmen, vistas of white and, perhaps even a little elfing magic. But for those of us in the Borderlands, the weather may be chill, or like today, peasoup and heading toward the 80s. When I want holiday spirit, I can't count on the weather to cooperate, but I can ALWAYS count on Nuevo Laredo. Tuesday's visit was a kick.
