I have, sadly, only five items of remembrance from the late Baguio fiber artist Narda Capuyan: two neck scarves (violet and orange) embellished with leather straps, a red poncho also embellished with leather straps, a camisa made from embroidered Indian fabric, and a rectangle of exquisite fabric she obtained from Japan--she took my measurements and, without executing any cuts in the fabric, cleverly folded it like origami and sewed it in strategic places to create a collar and two sleeves with cuffs.
