Studio update finally got this Facebook marketplace find running, the bearings were starting to experience calling because the oil passages were completely clogged with dirt lint from the past 30 years and the boot maker that this machine came from probably never took it apart. Even the timing belt was broken.

"El vestuario de los hombres mayas de Guatemala actualmente es el resultado de la uniรณn de la indumentaria precolombina y de los espaรฑoles llegados a nuestras tierras en el siglo XVI. Criterios para cubrir el cuerpo, protegerse del clima y tรฉcnicas de tejido de ambas culturas se mezclaron para crear una forma de vestir que perdura hasta el dรญa de hoy.

Los mayas de Guatemala siguen tejiendo, bordando y brocando las piezas de tela para elaborar sus indumentarias de uso diario y ceremonial que hoy admiramos y nos corresponde conservar como un valioso legado de identidad nacional."

8 years working on a plausible simple one pot Cochineal recipe that didnโ€™t need a laboratory to get good reds. This would be the most likely ingredients available to Navajo weaver during the peak of the 19th century New Mexican weaving revival spear headed by the Bazan Brothers as they combined and traded with Pueblo and Navajo weaving traditions. One even married into a Family with Navajo roots born from slavery that would become the matriarchy of the Hubbells. Tin Retablos artistry also peaked along with the weavings of the period as reds were produced locally among the different cultures. So a simple one pot cochineal recipe, Vinegar (mission orchards), Tin scrapes from the tin smiths, Local water not rain collected, matter root & Cochineal (Brazan inventory). Tin and cochineal were available in pre Columbian times while perhaps natural acids as well but more likely vinegar as it was a commodity the missions farms were interested in producing as soon as they were established. All these ingredients could plausibly be available as early as the 1650s. So enterprising weavers could have used this recipe for simplicity a one pot and done red.
