Description of Wool scarf, 'Wintergreen'
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Crocheting bands of white and green, Diana Abugattas creates a warm wool scarf. She spins the wool by hand and dyes it with ancestral techniques. The design is a showcase for the fiber's fascinating rustic textures. Artisan Info: Diana Abugattas was born January 20, 1960, in Lima. From a very early age she spent time amid fabrics ? she practically learned to crawl in her parents' clothing workshop. "It was there that my liking for designing in cloth began," she recalls. "When I was a teen, I was fascinated by the idea of studying hotel administration, and I eventually did. I worked in that field for six years, until I got married and had my first baby. I no longer had time for hotel work, so I took up the handicrafts and design I'd always had inside but had never developed. "At first I worked in ceramics. Then, together with my sister, I had the opportunity to design backpacks for children and we are still doing this today. But I'm never at peace ? I'm always looking for new designs and better techniques. "My art is my life. Every single morning when I first wake up, I think, 'What am I going to create today?' To find just the right fabric and do with it what I want for today's modern woman? my designs come from Peruvian hands. They are lovingly made for you to use."Women
