Textile applique (cotton and camelid fiber) in the shape of a fish, made by an artist of the Ychsma (Pachacamac) people living on the central coast of Peru, ca. 1400. The Ychsma people commonly wore mantles onto which appliques such as this were stitched. The symbol may have had religious significance, reflecting worship of the sea, from which the Ychsma derived much of their livelihood. Now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, USA.

I learned about it for the first time a few years ago from a book about crafters in Appalachia. I thought it looked cool, so I ordered a shuttle off of Etsy and found YouTube tutorials

"Sun Fox"
Wool, handspun and dyed with marigold and madder, fox bone
I made this piece as a talisman to invoke the energy of the sun and of the fox spirit. Warm, fiery, and bright, they come together to uplift and ignite.

Double cloth pick up for class! It’s genuinely irritating how obnoxious this is to set up and weave because the result is SO pretty. I drafted this up for a different class last semester (which is also posted on my page) and I’m hoping to get at least two full dragons if not more.
