How did they learn to do it?
Her mother-in-law María Bejarano showed her how to make the chacaras and in the case of the dolls it was with another artisan named Carmen Romero.

How do you do the activity?
In the case of the chacaras, you need to get the pita thread, which is extracted from a plant that must be crushed to remove the fibers, which are dried and spun, all this takes a week and from that it can start making the Chacaras, which according to its size will be the time it takes to finish them. In the case of the dolls, you must buy the materials, cut the pieces and once you have it ready, you begin the sewing process of them, on some occasions you must paint or embroider their faces.
