Mundillo

November 26th 2009 22:26
I love the art of mundillo making because there is something very tactile, very intense about making mundillo- the skill that makes the sounds of wood bobbins rhythmically ring, the amazement in seeing someone work on a large pattern with hundreds of pins and bobbins. Others are younger artisans who have an entire career of making and teaching before them to generation to generation.

If you ever visit Puerto Rico; you should see the Museo del Mundillo Puertorriqueno on Calle Barbosa in Moca, there is a memorial board, on which the names and dates of mundillistas who have passed are put on small plates that are affixed to a dark wood panel. Included among the names are family members and persons who made lace.
