About this weaving
Elena Teller's stunning manta showcases the magic of traditional Navajo weaving! This woman's wearing blanket dances with rich indigo blues, vibrant cochineal reds, and cheerful aqua tones created through natural dyeing—including a clever overdyed of indigo with rabbit brush yellow.
Crafted from authentic Churro wool, this beauty has graced prestigious exhibitions, including the 2006 "The Next Phase" at Desert Caballeros Museum and Nizhoni Ranch Gallery's celebrated "Navajo Textiles as Modern Art" show. A wearable work of art that tells stories of heritage and skill!
