First Mireya must make the dress or the shirt out of Rayon or cotton fabric. Then she traces the designs of the flowers and birds, then begins embroidering. Since Mireya only works in the afternoons after she finishes teaching, some of her products take weeks or months to finish. The flowers and birds represent the typical flora and fauna of the this northern part of the state of Oaxaca. The bright colors are reminiscent of the beautiful colors that can be seen in the Oaxaca country side.
Mireya del Carmen Virgin Palacios lives in the town of San Pedro Ixcatlan in the northern region of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Mireya learned how to embroider from her mother Mariana and aunt Margarita (also featured on GlobeIn.com). For the last 6 years Mireya has helped her mom with her embroidery work in the afternoons. Mireya works as a teacher in the mornings and spends her afternoons working on her embroidery orders or testing out new designs while making clothes for herself and her daughters.
Mireya's style is very innovative, mixing the old tradition of Mazateca embroidery with new modern shapes and styles to be more appealing for the younger generation.
Some of her designs include tank tops, corsets, dresses, skirts, and blouses.
