Luis
personally searches for and dyes his own wild straw using insect,
vegetable and chemical dyes. Over the design he places a sheet of
vellum paper, a buttery smooth paper coated with beeswax that adheres
to the straw. Each piece of straw must be carefully laid in place then
cut off in appropriate lengths with a small spatula. Luis is a Fifth
Generation master of straw mosaics in America. Click
