Huichol Bead Work

Huichol Mexican Arts

One of the four indigenous groups living in the region known as the Gran Nayar, and have had big influence in Mexican Arts are the Huicholes. This region is located in the southern part of the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains.

The Huichol people have made large contributions in the area of handicrafts within the Mexican Arts. The customs and traditions of this fascinating group of people are not well known as they are seldom seen outside of the central western region of Mexico, where they live.

The Huichols are known for their handicrafts, clothing, and food and ritual items. The characteristic style of dress for Huichol females is their short cotton blouse and flowering skirts. Their outfits are embroidered with colorful designs. They wear bright colored handkerchiefs that cover their hair and are bedecked with intricately detailed jewelry that is made of small beads. These tiny beads, which are known as chaquira or seed beads, play an integral role in Huichol handicrafts.

The Huichols creations include beaded jewelry and their ever famous ornate masks and other artisanal objects that are completely covered with beads. These eye catching pieces are made with the skillful placement of each individual bead on a layer of beeswax or Campeche wax that coats the surface of their pieces. The result is stunning handicrafts which are covered in a dazzling array of vibrant beaded patterns.

The Huichol are also known for their yarn paintings which are made in a similar way as their beaded handicrafts. Whether on a mask or on a piece of wood, it is covered in wax and then covered with colorful strands of yarn that are coiled into different designs.

The Huichol Mexican Arts provide an insight of their vibrant and complex culture. Their artwork and wardrobe, as well as their customs and traditions make them a fascinationg group of people.

I have seen many of the Mexican Huichol’s beaded jewelry, clothing, masks and yarn paintings and so much more and am happy to share my knowledge and opinions with you.

In most Native American Languages, there is no word for ‘art’ because it is synonymous with prayer.  There is much art in most native tribes, such as the Huichol of Mexico who create their art by applying seed beads to wax covered bowls and figurines with a long needle.  As we think about this, we begin to understand the concept of the art as meditation.  In order to accomplish this, the artist must be focused and his brain waves slowed down to an alpha state.  The idea of art as prayer gives reference to artists and spiritual significance to their creative work.

Decorative mexican artwork and top Native Americans art represents all those things in life which bring us joy; children, family, love, environment, spirituality and culture.  Turquoise represents the people.  It is symbolic. Native Americans are often symbolized by the color “red,” but this misrepresentation that was created by the Europeans.  Native Americans did not think of themselves as “redskins,” which many of the people feel is a derogatory term.  They thought of themselves as Turquoise because it is a native stone and because the different matrix in each piece of Turquoise is symbolic of the uniqueness found in human nature.

With a this in mind you can see each piece of decorative mexican art work and visualize the beauty of its’ origin. Whether it is Telavera, Kokopelli, or rustic southwestern, you are now better able to give your home a refreshed festive look with Native American art. I am always more than happy to help you.
