THIS MONTH'S COVER:

Illustration of Andean textiles:

Illustration inspired in rug designs with patterns based on traditional Ecuadorian motifs.  The skilled Guano weavers (Guano is a small city in the Chimborazo province- Central Andes) have made high-quality rugs with such designs, which have made their way to places such as the United Nations in New York  and the MOMA. Because most of the rugs are based on Ecuadorian archeology, colonial art and popular art, they promote Ecuadorian culture as they travel throughout the world.
